My dog pees everywhere, rips pads, and bites. How can I train him?

Question

What can I do if my dog keeps peeing every where I have tried puppy pads but he rips them or doesn't go potty on it? Also he keeps biting everyone what can I do?

Your dog needs to be taught where acceptable places to relieve himself are. Puppy pads aren't the greatest idea, so if you can train him to do his business outdoors you'll have an easier time of it. Put him on a leash and take him outside to his designated spot. Do not walk around. Just stand there and repeat "go outside" or a similar phrase. As soon as he starts to go, repeat "go outside" and praise "good dog!" as he goes. When he is finished, bring him directly back inside. If he does not go after a reasonable amount of time, bring him in but do not remove the leash. Attach it to your belt loop and keep him with you. Don’t let him out of your sight! When you see him start to circle or sniff, take him right outdoors again and repeat the process. If he does mess in the house, do not scold him unless you actually catch him in the act. In that case, say "NO!" and take him right outside. Tell him to "go outside" and praise as he finishes. Keep him in a crate at night, or for short periods when you are not at home. For further assistance with this, click on the prompt to initiate a consult. The fact that you are having problems housebreaking him and that he is biting people suggests that he is generally the boss of the home. He needs some general training as soon as possible. I would enroll him in a good beginner obedience class right away. I can also help with specifics through the consult.
