She's the boss and he knows it. I think his traumatic first few weeks have made him SUPER submissive. I thought that she was submissive until he came along. They'll be playing and he'll back off and bark at her for a second and then immediately roll over. Kinda like "I was just kidding, don't hurt me!"

My dog Scooter learned how to correct my puppy for me. He'd hear me say "AAATT!!" and he'd go bark at the puppy and "bump" him. It got to the point where I could just say "Scooter, get the puppy!" and he'd go bark at him.
I also used to have a cat that would scratch the couch...and after hearing me fuss at her, Scooter would automatically go bump her and make her stop.

I bet I can get big girl to do this..... She's hyper sensitive to what displeases me. She's a momma's girl. I've never seen a female dog bond to a female in the house so strongly. She puts herself in timeout when she's bad. All 60whatever pounds of her will be laying underneath an end table. I go to investigate and always find something, she's been in the cat box or trash or something. BUT she's vindictive as well. She's not allowed upstairs unless invited and she knows it. If the kids and I are outside for more than 5 minutes and don't take her she will go right to the top of the steps and take a crap. her feelings were hurt and by God, she'll show me! I'll walk in the house and she'll be under the table.
And that's the only time she ever goes in the house.

He doesnt drink too often does he?
We had to praise the crap out of cody when he was learning. thank goodness we had crappy azz carpet in the house at the time. you could try the clicker and treat method or maybe hang a bell on a peice of ribbon on the doorknob for him to paw at to go out.

Once he gets the hang of going outside, he'll start letting you know (Cody paces a little bit, walks to the door, then comes over and looks at you. Pace, door, touch base, repeat until we let him out
My uncle did the bell method on the door and it worked great. the dog goes and rings it everytime he needs to go out. They recently just got a doggy door too dso the dog lets himself off the screened porch which is nice too since they have a fenced in backyard.

Nickel said:I'm pretty sure that once the cat noticed the sequence of events following a bell ring, he'd ring the bell 24/7 just to get a reaction. Pacing works for us.
Scooter does the urgent stare. If I don't see him staring at me, he'll pace a bit. If I ask him, "Do you want to go outside?" he lets out an urgent bark and races to the door.
