Answer:Keep the trash where she can't get at it. If you leave trash within the reach of any dog they will go through it. As for potty training. Take her outside regularly and stay with her until she obliges. When she does, have a praise party.

Answer:Training your dog is the only way to help him develop into a valuable member of your family while eliminating unfavorable behavioral issues. Unfortunately, many dog owners either neglect to train their dogs or do so irresponsibly. Some owners follow systems that are ineffective while others try to train their dogs on their own without a true understanding regarding what they’re doing. In this article, we will describe 3 common mistakes that dog owners make. Mistake #1: Lack Of Patience This is more important than many owners realize and it can have a significant impact on how well your dog learns. A lot of owners expect their dogs to understand their commands quickly. Dogs absorb and learn by routine, persistence, and repetition. They may require several tries before they respond with the proper action (i.e. sitting, barking, etc.). Realize before you begin that training your dog requires substantial patience. Though some breeds will need less time than others, all dogs need learn in the same manner: routine, persistence, and repetition.
can someone under 5 feet train a full grown german pinscher? Yes it's a lot of work. I now that already! i just want to know if it is possible. How is it done? Would the person have to train that particular dog any certain way?
Answer:I believe that you asked this yesterday. You said that you were 13 so it is still up to your parents whether you have any dog. Your size does not have that much to do with it, but your ability does. As I stated yesterday, this is a very strong willed breed. (A German Pinscher is not a large breed at all) YOU can't purchase a dog yourself, your parents will have to IF they can be approved by the breeder.
