My dad is getting mad at Jack because he always poops in the house and he is getting so mad that he is thinking about selling him to someone he is so sick of him always pooping in the house and jumping up on people. How can I convince my dad that he should not sell my little puppy?
My little puppy is a beagle rat terrier, very cute!!!
Suggest doing group obedience training. Believe me, obedience training will make a world of difference. Make it a family event and suggest it will make your family bond. Also.. HOUSE TRAINING, HOUSE TRAINING, HOUSE TRAINING!! Never allow your dog to just eat when it wants, always set a schedule, allow it to eat and then take it out to use the restroom.
Also, check out this website and show it to your dad as well:

Explain to him that your puppy just isn't a puppy that he is a part of your family and he needs a forever home. Tell him, just like you were a kid, you needed training and obedience lead and he didn't let you go, did he? 
Good luck and I hope things work out in your favor and Jack shapes up soon!

Tell your dad that your going to bring Jack more often outside and that your going to buy him a cage so when you are going to bed or somewhere you're going to put him in so he don't poop on the floor.

Your dad needs to show him WHERE to poop. They don't just know instinctively to go outside. If he goes in the house and you smack him, he doesn't think to himself, "Ooooh, he hit me because I pooped on the carpet. Next time I'm going to go outside on the grass!" Instead, he thinks, "He hit me because I pooped. He doesn't like it when I poop." Well, he doesn't want to be hit again so next time he has to go, he'll go somewhere you can't find him like under your bed or in the closet. You need to tell your dad that he needs to buy a crate and crate train the puppy. Here is a great resource…print this out for your dad.

This isn't the puppy's fault. You weren't born knowing everything you know now…someone had to teach you how to talk, walk, write, do math…you have to teach a puppy the same way. I also recommend signing up for a positive reinforcement training class in your area.

If he is just a puppy then you need to train him which takes awhile. You dad should have realized this when you got the dog and that housetraining doesn't happen overnight. You need to take it out more often to go pottie and to train it not to jump on people. Spend more time with him to better socialize him and teach him some manners. Puppies need lots of attention in order to become good K-9 citizens.

Sounds like Jack might "hit the road" unless you start training him:
For "pooping", use the crate training method - I can explain what that is and what exactly that involves after you give me the ten points! (:0)
For jumping on people, you can either enroll both of you in your local PetsMart that gives training classes on unwanted behavior. A quick tip on breaking the habit of jumping up on people that you can try at home first before you spend the time and money on the training classes I mentioned above:
Every time your dog starts to jump up on you, bend your knee and leg up as if you were getting ready to take a big step. As you do this and as he is jumping, your knee will somewhat gently hit him in the chest and cause him to land back on all fours - and it is also important to say a firm "NO" as this is happening. Key to successful training is consistency. After awhile, Jack will grow tired of getting gently kneed in his chest and unsuccessful in his jumping up.
Remember, I'd be glad to explain in detail how to use a dog crate to easily housebreak Jack and no more "pooping" !!

He just needs to be trained, and it's never too early to start. Show your father that you're willing to put in the time to train your puppy and I'm sure he'll see a difference in the problematic behavior very soon. I suggest getting your dog his own crate which is to be used when you're away or during bedtime but never as a punishment, it should be your puppy's personal space/haven. Let him sleep in the crate then when you wake up take him out or to a potty pad and let him do his business, then feed him what he eats in 10 minutes is about all he should need, then put the food away, this will help him not only to control his potty problems but also to become more bonded with you as he will see you as his provider, as opposed to always having a food bowl filled and available to him. 15-30 minutes after you feed him he should be ready to potty again, use treats and encouraging words like "good potty" that way he'll get used to the word and eventually understand what you want him to do when you take him out and what the word potty means. Feed him again at lunch and dinner time and follow the same plan. get him on a schedule and you'll do great =)
