Looking For Tips On Bringing A Previously Outside Dog Inside?

I have a dog we got a couple years ago at the pound. She appears to be a greyhound mix. Very energetic. Likes to stand on her hind legs and give bear hugs. I bring her in and put her in a crate when it’s cold but have never let her run around the house. She’s just so rambunctious. It’s not the potty training that concerns me as much as the fact that I have cats and don’t want her to torture them and I don’t want her to get on the furniture. Will it be impossible to teach her that she’s not allowed on the furniture when the cats are allowed? Any tips are welcome. Thanks.

How Do People Live With Dogs Peeing And Pooing Inside Their Home?

I have been watching Victoria Stilwell’s “It’s Me or the Dog” and I am amazed how people can live in a home with dogs peeing and pooing everywhere. I don’t mean puppies which are being trained. It is natural that they will have accidents. I am referring to fully grown dogs which should, if they had been properly trained, known better.
The show the other day was 2 Greyhounds (gorgeous dogs) which were gated in the kitchen overnight and every morning and when they returned home there was pee and poo all over the kitchen. Video footage showed the dogs walking through it and then jumping up onto the kitchen benches. How can people live like that? It makes my stomach turn just thinking about it. My own dogs have been trained to stay out of the kitchen altogether – let alone not peeing and pooing through the house.
The stench must be stomach turning in their homes.
How can they live with this every day of their lives?

Which Dog Breed? Please Look Inside >>?

I am looking for a breed of dog to specialize in breeding/training. I have a few ideas, but suggestions are always appriciated I train deaf dogs, so I am ready for any challange the dogs can throw at me. I have a lot of expierence from working at kennels and groomers, so a stubburn breed is ok. The breeds I am looking into are Greyhounds, Italian Greyhounds, Irish Wolfhounds, Boxers, Dalmations, and Aussie Shepards. if you have any expierence with these breeds, it would be amazingly great if you could list some pros and cons… i’m not quite sure of them yet =] I have been going to Animal Rescue legues and fostering those breeds. Thanks everyone!

My Dog(greyhound/dober Mix) Is Good Listener Inside, But Outside Is Too Distracted.?

My dog(greyhound/dober mix) is good listener inside, but outside is too distracted to listen to simple commands. Inside he will 100% percent always sits when i tell him to sit, but outside it take 5 or 6 times.
Also, when i call his name inside he always looks. Outside, he rarely looks when i say his name. Im trying to train him to not use a leash because my lawn is fairly large. Ive tried playing with him outside, but he still gets distracted too often to make any progress.
