Can You Help Me With Puppy Training?

My 5-month old Toy Fox Terrier puppy is still peeing and pooping in the house even after being let outside to go. We use mats when he's alone inside for a long time which he uses sometimes and sometimes not. Also, he has aggressive behavior sometimes when he's scared and nips at children and barks and growls at adults and will nip at adults if intimidated.

Enroll your terrier in a puppy training program. They are great for socializing your dog and will help put those aggressive tendencies in check. I would suggest not using the wee pads as your dog needs to understand that outside is the only right place to go. Make sure when he is outside he take care of business before he's allowed to play. He need to know that outside time is not playtime it's potty time!

Just a few tips I find helpful:
If he is left alone for long periods of time, the smaller the crate the better. They normally will not go where they sleep.
When they do go in the house sop it up or pick it up and take it and the dog outside. Show him that is where it goes. Also, keep water and food to a minimum until trained. Don't deprive the baby, just schedule it. It helps. As for the nipping, dogs are like men, or vice versa, smaller dogs tend to be more aggressive so they can feel dominant. You have to be stern and let him know who is in charge, the alpha dog(human). When he nips, push his lip in so he nips himself and he will see that it hurts and tell him "no" never hit him. That will make it much worse and is a terrible thing to do. Just be stern and consistent. Good luck! Puppies are awesome! ♥
