No advice, but I hope it heals soon.

We actually have a piece on clicker training too. Most people use it slightly differently from the way you describe so have a read, I think you might find it helpful. https://dogforum.co.uk/threads/training-with-a-clicker.92617/

Hello and welcome. It is very early days, there is a saying that it takes a dog about three days to decompress, three weeks to learn the household routines and three months to really settle. I'm not experienced in two-dog homes but from what I've read, you should intervene to stand up for Remi...

I've edited a couple of words out of your post @sme4969 - we are a family friendly forum ;)

Remember to make the reward happen straight away so it's clearly for toileting, and not for anything else (like coming to you to get it).

My guess would be that he has been scolded or punished for toileting in the wrong place. So now, he is afraid to do it in the presence on anyone that might do the same. Could that be possible? If so, if you are able to ever catch the moment he toilets, you could make tiny pieces of sausage or...

I don't think that looks like a wart, it looks like it is more open if you know what I mean, and the redness looks like blood. Usually with lumps and bumps I'd do what I'd do if I found the same on myself - wait a few days and see if they go; if not, I'd get professional help from my doctor...

I agree councils are short of funds, but ours has recently painted some parts of road junctions in red to indicate people shouldn't drive over them there, but left potholes so deep I half expect to see miners coming out of them. And that's got to be from the same budget. I hate potholes with a...

I'm sorry I don't have answers (hopefully someone else will have more practical help) but I didn't want to read and run. Would your vet have advice, or maybe one of the nutritionists at a dog food company - they can be really helpful. I hope you get some advice.

Actually, Blue has possibly saved your family from a nasty case of food poisoning, if you had any of your own food in there too. If the freezer is new, see if the guarantee will cover the cost of the spoiled food?

Many, many years ago I heard of a family who had a litter of six beautiful pups and one ugly one. They sold the ugly one seven times ...

You could send the photo to your vet to let them see what they are dealing with.

I forgot earlier but someone I know has found colostrum really helped her dog (you can buy it in health food shops). But do check with your vet that it won't interact with anything else she may be on.

For others trying to make sense of this -

In that case, in daytime I would start training a 'settle down' cue. One he has that nailed, you can use it at bedtime to reinforce that the bedroom is for sleeping in.

Can I just check a couple of things? When he taps on the baby gate, is he on the same side as you, or the other side? Then, having woken you, he doesn't actually need out (do you take him anyway)? Or does he just get on your bed for a bit then returns to his own - is that correct?

We have a section of the forum with helpful puppy tips - maybe you would find some of it helpful? https://dogforum.co.uk/threads/useful-links-recommended-reading.92603/

When my dog has been unwell and I've needed to hydrate him, I have added a little bit of the water from a can of tuna in spring water (not brine) to normal drinking water.

1. Yes, I'd like that depending on what was in it. For example, we were once in a hotel that gave a sort of selection box of quality dog treats - great. On a ferry, we were given a little bag wit a cheap and nasty rope toy and a rawhide chew - we left it behind. 2. A little silicon collapsible...

There are various websites that will give recipes but it isn't easy to get the balance of nutrients right - especially for a puppy, because the calcium to phosphorus ratio is different for puppy growth than for adult dogs.
