My Dogs Are Really Close To Being Potty Trained, How Do I Finish?

They’re a lhasa apso, and a lhasa apso/havanese mix. Usually, if my husband and I are in the room, they will not go. We generally let the out every two hours or so to relieve themselves. My problem is, when we leave for a bit, we leave them in the kitchen and you can’t even IMAGINE the mess that’s in there when we get home. Also, we generally let them sleep in our room, and every other night I wake up to the smell of dog crap. I can’t punish them both, because I don’t know who did it. I know they’re both capable of holding it, because we travel with them frequently, and they usually wait for a period of 10-12 hours while driving before they go. What should I do? My husband I are trying to conceive, and I really would rather not deal with this problem while being pregnant or having a newborn! Help!

How Can I Stop My Dog From Being Aggressive To New People And Some Other Dogs?

I have a 1 year old male maltese. Yes he is neutered. At home w/me and my family he is the sweetest dog in the whole world. But when he meets new people, such as my friends, he just goes nuts! He won’t stop barking at them and sometimes he even bites atthey’rere ankles and feet! We have tried giving the new people treats to give to my dog so he will like them but sometimes he doesnt take the treats. Then i have no idea what to do! I need help please! Also, he barks and lunges at most dogs. They’re are only about 2 dogs that he likes and they are a little yorkie (male) and a little havanese (female). You would think that he doesnt have a problem with little dogs, only big dogs. But theyre is another maltese across the street who is a little smaller than my dog is and he lunges and barks at the other dog. And the other dog isnt even doing anything! Please I have no idea what to do. We tried taking him to training for 8 weeks once a week but that didnt do anything. It just taught him simple commands like sit and stay which he already knew. Please i need some help. Getting a personal trainer for him is out of the question because my parents don’t want to spend the money. I need to know how to train him on my own.
