Previously House Broken Dog Has Started Pooping in the House

My 1 1/2 year old dog keeps pooping in the house Post By Shannan (Guest Post) (11/12/2008) My 1 1/2 year old dog keeps pooping in the house. I let her out as soon as I wake up in the morning and then feed her when she comes in (she usually can't wait to go outside in the morning so that why I feed her when she comes in). I feed her again when I get home from work at around 5 or 6 pm and let her out right after. Then I let her out right before I go to bed. I wake up in the morning and she had pooped in the kitchen. Same spot every time. It is becoming more and more frequent and I dont know how to stop it. I give her a treat and praise her after she has done her business outside. We do yell at her when she poops in the house, maybe that's the reason? please help!

Leading up to pooping, she doesn't ask to go out, or even sit at my feet like she normally does when she needs something. Any advice?

For the first two months did his business outside. Now he has started going inside on a rug. I read your comment about 'crate' training. How long and when do I keep him in the crate? What is the procedure I should follow? Thanks Report Spam or Abuse RE: Previously House Broken Dog Has Started Pooping in the H Post By Bonnie (Guest Post) (02/15/2008) Hi! Do you feed the dogs from a big bowl so they eat whenever the want? That should stop. Do two feedings at exactly the same time each day and their bowels will respond on a schedule you all can live with. And don't overfeed! Are the dogs fat. Are the dogs being walked at all? They need at least a half-hour of exercise morning and night, every day. Crating the dogs after being exercised is not cruel, however forcing dogs to live in a stressful home, where they are constantly getting in trouble, is cruel. I think using a trainer that can make house calls and getting some couples therapy for the humans is in order. Invest in solving this problem so you can have a nice clean home if for no other reason. And yes, not too late for training. For the dogs either!

It is natural for a dog to be a den animal and they actually like the crate when taught properly to use it. Your dog probably started because of the residual smells throughout the house. Your dog is confused as to where is the proper place to go. The only way I know to train them is to confine them, because dogs don't want to relieve themselves where they will have to lay in it if at all possible. Only other thing I can think of is to watch them 24 hours a day for a couple weeks and take them out like you would a puppy and praise them for going outside and catch them sniffing around the house before they have a chance to go inside. Crate training is easier. You could also board your pups for a few weeks in a good kennel that takes the dogs out frequently, then they can house train them while you clean your carpets professionally. Report Spam or Abuse
