Do you give your dog a Kong or similar when you leave the house? Is she thoroughly house trained (like practising a few weeks at least giving her treats for pooping/ peeing outside)?
A problem like you have is not only that- a problem in a certain situation. It's about not understanding how your dog ticks (this has nothing to do with dominance, by the way).  You're absolutely not alone in this- stuff like that finances my jeans addiction.   |
He has stuff to chew on when we leave but he also does it at night. He's been with us for 4 months with no housebreaking issues whatsoever. (He's an adult btw.) I think the problem is that it's gotten much colder outside in the last couple weeks and we are not giving him enough time outside to go. After about 10 minutes I just get fed up with waiting for him to poop and go back in. So I see why he poops in the house, it's my fault. I don't understand why he pees though because I know he empties his bladder out there. Hopefully we can fix it by just giving him more time outside. It's just so c-c-cold out there!
