I recently purchased a 8 week old labrador. He is very smart and already responds to basic commands such as sit. But he seems to go toilet just about anywhere. I have a relatively large yard and he would need to walk about 50 metres to where I want him to releive himself. I always scoop it up ans show him where to go toilet but it doesnt seem to work. Sometimes he may do it where he is supposed to but majority of the time it is where ever he likes. Any ideas guys?
Oh and he also hates his leash and collar.

My friend has a 2 year old GSD. It’s a boy dog and its very strong.
When they go out for walks at night the dog pulls everywhere, especially when it sees a cat, it wants to chase it, it will pull like crazy and if you weren’t ready for his sudden pull he could pull you over and drag you along while he chases the sound or noise. He once even nearly got crashed by a car when they just tied the leash to his collar and just got out the gate, he just leapt over and did a sudden pull!
If this keeps happening their dog will die because… It might get crashed by the car…
Any suggestions on how to solve the pulling problem as well as cat chasing/bird chasing/leaf chasing.
It gets very annoying trying to stop him, they just say sternly, “No.” and they pull him away.
They have tried one of those head leashes when the dog wears something around the muzzle so you can control the head, but the dog refuses to wear it.
