We have a 7-year-old dog named Gus who has always been aggressive, especially on a leash. We were advised to train him to poop at home, but now we live in the city without a yard. How can we train him to poop on a leash during walks, as he currently only does so at the dog park when no other dogs are present?

I have a litter of puppies that are lethargic, occasionally vomiting, experiencing mild diarrhea, and have lost their appetite. Two of them were diagnosed with Parvo, and the other two are now showing symptoms. The vet gave Cerenia injections to the two sick ones and provided pills, but I only received one pill instead of the four I was supposed to get. The vomit is liquidy with some froth, clear and white, and the puppies are refusing food. What should I do?
