Sue is right!
What I have observed on the Dog Whisperer show, is that one must take into
consideration what type of dog you have. A hunting dog? A racer? A water lover? etc.
And then you need to exercise that "need" to defuse it.
It seems to me that a predominately outside dog would find things to do to
occupy itself..outdoors. So those behaviors may be unacceptable indoors.
Perhaps, keeping him on a leash for a while indoors may help. Then he would learn what indoor behavior is acceptable if he is leashed to you. If you find long walks too difficult (say you have physical limitations due to health), you could do frisbee, fetch outside to wear him out a bit. (Of course, you may train him to be good while you are there, but he may still go behind your back, and revert. Some smart dogs do this
