What is the best way to train a dog not to chew everything?

My one year old Golden Retriever chews anything he can get a hold of … She loves children especially stuffed animals, shoes and my bra. I'm up to my last pair of shoes and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to get it to stop. Thanks! I've had since she was a puppy. We scold when chewing things that do not belong to it. She has a collection of his own things. We rawhide and "Dingo" for her bones. She has found digging in the closet to get items to chew And yesterday, I found chewing on the edge of my dildo … while in bed! This has become a recent problem … she's used to be really good just chewing their own things only occasional setbacks. There is a separate thing. I am a mother at home. BUT, we have moved past. Could this be the problem?

Gold Retreivers are large dogs, the advantage is that they are bred to have "soft mouth" which means that genetically, which have been bred to have the characteristic of not destroying birds / ducks that can be recovered … the disadvantage is that the longer the puppy's behavior continues unchecked, the harder it becomes to rehabiltate the dog … that being said, and if you are serious and willing to make the effort, you can give the dog their own toys … ok … now the dog has its own thing … only dog ​​toys because you can not associate that gave him a shoe, but can not have other shoes, which have their own toys now … the trick is to be very careful and when you see even eyeball any across yours, it gives a warning, as a severe "NO!" take that item and save it, then immediately offered one of their own toys and reward when you accept it, playing with the toy with him for a few … keep repeating that without fail and a dog as a golden Retreiver fire fast … in his mind to be connected is "Oh, do not want me to have his stuff, but I can have my own whenever I want" I hope that sooner or later, the dog will start and offers its toys to encourage play with him … good luck! Awesome race!

can anyone give me tips on training a dog?

i need tips on training a wild lil black pug(in my pic). he pisses on everything once i turn my back cause he wont do it in front me.and he also bites every thing . he is 2 yrs and i know the biting prob stop once he get older. but i need ways of traing him to sit, lay, stay, and some others.

By 2 years he well passed old enough to know not to bite. Take him to training and learn how to get control of him.

As for potty training, here you go:

First off, confine him when you can’t supervise. I can’t stress enough the importance of this. For potty training, use a crate that is only big enough for her/him to comfortably stand, lie, and turn around in. He should not be able to potty in one end and lie down in the other. Make sure he’s not confined for too long — generally the age in months plus one hours (so 5 hours for a 4 month old pup).

Every time you take him out of his crate take him outside. He should be on a leash. You should go through the same door every time. Take him to where you want him to potty and start repeating his potty command until he finishes. Then treat him and let him play or go for a walk.

Put food and water on a schedule. Give 20 minutes to eat and then pick food up until next scheduled meal. Give water every hour (or when he’s obviously thirsty.) By scheduling meals and water, you are able to predict when he will need to relieve himself. Put him on leash and take him out.

Watch for behaviors that tell you he needs to go out: circling, squatting, sniffing, crouching, ….
I have clients who tell me their puppies won’t go while they are outside, only to come inside and make a mess on the floor! If you find this to be a problem, give him a reasonable amount of time outside and if he doesn’t go confine him for 15 minutes when you come back inside. At the end of that time, take him back out. Repeat this process until he goes. By doing this, you are teaching him that he will earn his freedom by pottying where it’s appropriate.

Lastly, basic obedience training really can help. It clarifies leadership for your dog (and sometimes for the owners as well )
