RE: Dog Going To the Bathroom Inside at Night
I need help. We have had our rescue dog for about four weeks. I keep taking her outside to do her business. At first she went fine. Now she either takes forever or not at all, and have found poopy inside the house. I need help in what to do.

We have a 6 year old predominantly border collie who never went to the bathroom inside until this week. We are always home; he gets walked daily and we have a huge yard. Help!

RE: Dog NOT WANTING TO GO IN THE BACKYARD TO POOH
I have a 7 year old male schnauzer if I put him in the backyard to do his business it will take forever or not happen at all. I'm his second owner and his last owner just let him run loose and go where he pleases. If I put him out back and leave him he will sit at the back door and bark or just sit there. I'm afraid that he will be hit by a car or hurt by another dog. I don't have all day to wait outside with him to go. how can I get him to go out back? mrbaker5881 AT sbcglobal.net

RE: Dog Going To the Bathroom Inside at Night
I have a 4 year old Cairn Terrier mix that I rescued from the street when she was about 1 year old. She poops and pees in the house all the time. I have tried everything to housetrain her and bring her outside after she eats. I thought that she might be afraid of the dark or may not see well in the dark, so I bring her outside w/a flashlight and tell her what a good girl she is if she goes potty. Then, during the night, she potties in the house. We also have a 150 lb Rotty/Lab Mix that I have trained to "take sister potty" which he does but then she poops in the house. I have also tried feeding her in the morning so she will go outside to potty during the day. I don't think she would respond well to being crated as I have her trained to "get in your basket" to sleep or when she needs to feel safe. A friend suggested that I start using "pee pads", so last night I did and she peed on the pee pad but pooped in the kitchen. I try so hard to be patient w/her because I believe she was abused and had to run around in fear for her life from everything and everybody! Short of lining the entire floor with pee pads, I am at a loss of what to do. Can anyone suggest anything else I might do?

Our Jack Russell and Yorkie sleep toghether in a large crate with a brown velvet loveseat for doggies
(walmart) and they go in crate easy and in am
bolt for the outside. I get up at sixish to let them
out and when they are done they get one treat each and they want back in crate....They love this and on nights we stay up late for a movie they
park themselves infront of our bedroom door as they are ready for bed. Our constant phrase
was "kennel up" Yorkie was a bit stubborn and if
your voice changed to almost a screech he would
bolt for under bed so he trained me to do it with
PRAISE. I say 'good little doggie, good doggie'
then he slowly saunters in. It works so we do it
and now a few months later no problems. The Jack
was almost 2 and yorkie 9months when we started
crating them at night and now no problems. We used to let them sleep with us but one night the yorkie chewed my hubbys costly eyeglasse then on
other night he found a 12 pack toilpet paper pack
and ripped throught so it was all unusable, he shredded and then ate all 12 carboard tubes, and
had no problems except for his colon was clean
We took him to Vet but Vet said he would just
be fine on his own.
Gotta love our little babies.We do and they give
us LOVE, Kisses, and free entertainment.

RE: Dog Going To the Bathroom Inside at Night
I have been having the same problem and 4 nights ago I starting having a little talk with her right at bedtime. I tell her if she needs to go out to wake me up, that good doggies/girls don't poop in the house. And remind her that she is a good girl.
It has worked for 4 nights, I don't know if it will last?
If she needs to be reminded nightly? But as along as it seems to be working I will continue it.

I am a firm believer in crating the dog at night. I do this w/me 2 Pomerainians, and my 1 little Yorkie. They will not mess in the crate and as soon as I let them out in the mornings they bolt for the doggie door. This has really helped in keeping the house clean at night. You can get Crates at second hand stores and on Ebay. You don't hve to pay a fortune for a crate and they really come in handy.

When our cocker started doing so, we leashed her (tied her up) at night. We also do so when we leave the house during the day, 'cause otherwise she will get into the garbage while we are gone. She will not poo or pee when tied up. We have never used a kennel, just a leash beside her basket. Beside her basket is her food and water so we know she would be okay for hours, if need be.

Hi Debbie
Have you considered that your little dog may be afraid of the dark? Try a light outside & see if it helps. Otherwise, it could be too cold.
Is it all the time? Many dogs don't like to get their feet wet if they can help it, so if that's the case, make sure there is a covered area where he can go.
Good Luck.
