My gsp puppy refuses to drop anything out of her mouth. Random pieces of trash, shoes rocks, sticks, exc for example. When I'm working that bird drive and giving her pigeons she will not let that thing go even when it's Christmas morning and I have another bird in my hand. She takes off and tries to hide. I try to eventually take it out if her mouth but we are talking about like 5 minutes later. I've raised alot of labs and im so use to the love of the retrieve. What do I do? Im sorry I probably sound like I have so many problems but GSP pups are another animal lol

When I first got my puppy, she was 8 weeks old. She's 10 weeks old now, and I just realized she's been using her crate as a bathroom. I had a blanket in there, so I didn't notice it until a couple of days ago. I've cleaned the crate thoroughly and removed the blanket, but now she'll still go to the bathroom in the crate and then cry afterward. She doesn't give me any warning beforehand. by the time she cries, it's already too late. The strange thing is she won't go to the bathroom anywhere else in the house, only in her crate. Does anyone have advice on how to break this habit?

I've got a pup that's 10 weeks old. She's starting to gaurd and growls when my kids come by her food. Sometimes even me. How do I break that habit? I don't want her to get aggressive toward my kids
