Just a quick reply to all your comments: JRG- It is a row of glass doors that come of the living room. Showdog- We generally play fetch outside with him or we give him something new such as a piece of cardboard so he has something new to keep him entertained. Also he generally looks like he playing with his toys. No, the puppy is from a breeder not a petshop Rural Pug- Thanks for your response, really helpful and I totally agree with it! Will definitely try and get him use to being outside. But we are also having issues with him just running outside and barking. Like not when he gets bored, for example this afternoon he was inside and scratched at the door to go out so we let him out and he starts barking straight away (the door wasnt shut) and I have no idea what it is at. Any tips?

Unfortunately, there is no way of us blocking the view from outside to inside.

Hi Thanks for the replies. Will sprinkling kibble over the lawn really work? Won't he just go and eat it and then want to come in again? How can I make it more fun for him outside he already has plenty of toys.

Hi, I have a poodle cross who is currently 5 months old and he is continuously jumping up and scratching at the door to come in when we put him outside. While most of the time we are happy to have the door open so he can come in and out as he pleases there are times when we need him to be outside. He only claws at the door when we are at home and he can see someone inside (as our outdoor area comes off of our living room, where we spend most of our time). If there is no one inside that he can see he is happy outside, I know this because when I am upstairs and I put him outside because I can't supervise him, he doesnt claw the door. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks, Caitlin

I have a poodle cross who is starting to bite our hands a bit more when we are patting him or playing with him. He is 5 months old, is this just teething and will he grow out of it? He has just recently lost majority of his teeth and his new teeth are all coming through so I just assumed it was teething but I am not sure.

Hi Thanks For your advice. He is a cavoodle who has access to outside and inside at all times as we leave the back door open. Yes he came from a breeder. He is perfectly fine when walking on a leash and doesnt bark at anything on walks. We are home nearly all day and have a secured fence.

Hi I really desperately need some tips on how to get my 5 month old puppy to stop barking at any little noise he hears outside. If he hears anything whether it be birds chirping or the lawn mower next door he starts barking.
