hi

Question
my puppy needs to be trained because he is  a pooper monster! always pooping inside if im home but when im at school he holds it till i get home! he also likes to do negative things to my stuffed animals and i want him to be an obedient dog. he is also over protective when i take him for walks or barks at other dogs. he previously got into a fight with a 1 year old dog and i was afraid but the dog didnt cut him at all. he learned some tricks like sit, liedown and come here. but i want him to be nice before he bites someone!!

P.S. he is only 6 months and he is a pomeranian pekingese shi-tsu

Answer
You need to begin formal obedience training and socialization. Also potty training consists of first inthe AM, every two hours ON LEAD, immediately before and after meals and last thing at night. Its on lead so ou have the dog go potty in the same location and can give it a reward as soon as it goes outside. A tiny treat and good dog is enough. This trains the dog to go outside not inside.

There are lots of books and videos on obedience and potty training. You should find an experienced trainer or class to obedience train your dog.
