Dog Health Questions: How to stop my dog from biting stuff/peeing all over my house?

My dog is a lab 10 months old.We live on the 5th story so we cant keep taking him out frequently to piss.He keeps pissing on chairs,clothes,buckets,etc. my only option is to take him to the bathroom to piss but i'm an amateur and i don't know ANYTHING about dog training and he's like that dog in 'Marley & Me' (hard to train). He keeps biting things in our house like chairs,pillows,doors,cell phones,etc. Now that he's tall enough he is climbing on tables and taking stuff and chewing them. My dad is very sick of him now and if i don't do anything within a month (my sister is moving away) my dad's gonna throw him. Though hes naughty and uncontrollable my mom & i still love him so adoption is out of the options & we can't afford a dog trainer/walker.Any advise is appreciated.Thanks

Must-Have Tools For Easy And Fun Dog Training

Recommended Answer:
Assuming you have enough money to take him to the vet and you're not planning on breeding him in the future, I would definitely recommend you get him neutered. He may be peeing over everything to scent mark it and he should be young enough to correct this if you have him neutered now. I had my dog neutered at 7 months and I know it sounds young but he was an absolute nightmare (so badly behaved that my parents wanted him adopted) and the vet said he was old enough - and a couple of months down the line he was almost a different dog. Of course it was partially due to the fact that he was maturing but I think the neutering helped, aswell as training him myself for half an hour a day which gave him something to do. I also recommend taking him for at least an hour's walk a day whenever you can fit it in, as this will help with his activity levels. Hope this helps :)

Edit: Neutering is the main I can think of to help as it'll make your life (and his) much easier and won't harm him in any way apart from a couple of days of discomfort. If you really can't face it then try training him yourself - have you taught him basic commands like sit, stay, leave etc? 'Leave' was the best thing we ever taught my dog as it makes him literally drop everything and pay attention - you can find out how to teach it to him here: http://www.loveyourdog.com/touch.html

You can also buy books or read online other things to train your dog, maybe try agility as a bit of fun, exercise him more, maybe give him less dinner and put some food in a toy for him to figure out how to remove it (Kongs are good for strong chewers) as boredom will make behaviour problems worse. And try your best to leave anything chewable well out of his reach. Good luck.
