I have a terrier puppy who just turned a year old. She is well behaved to be so young,except when it comes to my cats toys. My cats love those little furry mice and if Katy finds one she tears it to pieces She has also torn up a ball that was my cats. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can teach her that those toys are off limits? She has plenty of chew and squeaky toys, so that’s not the the problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Also, how do I teach her to let me know when she needs to go potty. Right now, the only way I know is when she starts pacing around the house and I let her out. I wished she would paw at the door or bark or something. Any suggestions on how to train her to let me know?
