1) We are attempting crate training, but we have a young baby (1 yr old) and if dog barks too much it wakes the baby. can anyone suggest another method for housetraining during the night?

Its harded to crate train a puppy that has not been crate trained from a young age my pups go to they new homes already use to crates,you best bet is to lock your puppy in a room or try lots of toys and a radio on and a long walk in the evening might help

2) Dog has discovered the cat flap and now goes out thru it, but it's magnetic and she can only go out and not in, therefore at night she barks and barks til we let her in, I'm worried i'm not gonna hear her n leave her out in the cold! I can't lock the catflap completely cuz the cat needs to go out. Ideas?

If it magnetic why cant the pup come in ? If it can go out My pups went in and out of my cat flap when they were small Im loss when you pup gets a bit bigger she wont be able to get out or in

3) cat and dog not getting on well, dog chases cat, cat will only eat upstairs and barely goes out. How can we help them be friends?

It can takes months just let you cat do what it wants and try and stop your pup from chasing the cat i know easyer said then done


4) Dog very snappy and often bites baby. Best way to teach her not to?
