How do I train my dog not to poop inside the house?
There is only one way and it take patience and repetition. When your dog pees in the house do one of two things:If you catch the dog in the act, hustle it straight outside immediately do not wait for it to finish. Do not freak out or make a fuss. Outside when he finishes .. make a fuss praising him for a job well done. If he doesn’t finish, stay out until either he does or it becomes evident he won’t. If he does make a fuss of praise.If you do not catch him in the act, just clean it up. Do not make a fuss or try to punish your dog, he won’t understand.Closely watch your dog at all times and crate him when you can’t. Your dog will send signals that he needs to go and when he does scoot him right outside fast. Every time you catch him doing his business outside make a big fuss of praise.It is helpful to monitor their food and water intake. Take him out immediately after each feeding and at least every 2 hours ( depending on age and ability of dog to hold it) to pee. Make a fuss with every successful business.Dogs respond best to positive stimuli. He will soon learn that going outside results in great benefit to him ( feel free to use treats) whereas going inside gets him nothing. He will learn to go for the positive. This may take time and does take patience and control of your temper ( you will want to strangle him before you’re done). Just keep doing it and he will learn. If your dog is a new puppy, this may take up to a year depending on your perseverance and vigilance, it is a puppy, a baby. It takes time for their brains and bladders to develop. This is the most tried and true method and it does work, how well depends on you. Good luck, the frustration is well worth it and soon forgotten. BTW … young dogs, especially, need to chew. Ensure they have something to chew on other than expensive italian leather shoes….
My dog always wants to get back into the house and then poops?
He pulls even when hes in the yard to get back inside, and then he poops. Hell pee outside but he is in such a rush to get inside that he doesnt poop. What to do?
My boyfriends dog keeps pooping in the house, even after walks. How to make him stop?
My boyfriend has a white German Shepherd that's 3 or 4 and no matter how long he goes out he will still poop in the house. He has a schedule and he will do all of his business right before my boyfriend goes to work, but When I get home there's his droppings everywhere. He knows he did wrong because he will cower due to abuse from a different family when he was a puppy. He used to only do it sometimes but recently it's been everyday. And nothing has changed in our schedule to make his mood different in a way that he feels that he needs to soil the floor. I don't want to be rude and mean to my boyfriend an tell him that his animal has a problem. But I hate coming home before my boyfriend to always having to clean his messes when it's not my dog.
How do I keep my dog from peeing or pooping in the house? I take him outside for 30 minutes then comes in and he poops/pees. He’s six months old and adopted a couple weeks ago.
How do I keep my dog from peeing or pooping in the house? I take him outside for 30 minutes the comes in and he poops/pees. He's six months old and adopted a couple weeks ago.2 things - >While outside - Spend more time outside if needed. Once he urinate or defecate even if little, pet him and give a treat. This is in order to encourage the dog to use outsides more.While inside - When he urinates or defecate, Scold. No need to hit. Just scold(mention “No” so it is clear “No” means bad for future) and don't talk or play for a while. Do point at the urine/feces while doing scolding so it is clear “why” as well.There are other ways too, some involving beating as well but I don't encourage beating at all. Beating will make the dog much more insecure, traumatized and have trust issues with you.Training will take a while so have patience. You can use similar patterns like this to train other things as well.Your dog isn't an adult yet so he needs to go relieve himself much more often so do take the dog out at regular intervals.Also, Don't forget the vaccines. They can save life. Literally.
My dog pees/poops in the house when no one is watching?
in the past the dog has been told off for toileting inside and so hides when he is doing it, he is still unsure whether to trust and so would rather do that than in front of you if he can than face being told off for doing the toilet. The timing of his feeds means he needs during the night. He is scent marking since he is not the only dog. Clean anywhere he has toileted in the house with a biological cleaner. Change his feeding time to last thing at night, just before bed, so he needs during the day. Take him for a 30 min walk in the morning before leaving, then put him in his kennel with a stuffed Kong toy. Someone needs to let him out in the afternoon and walk him for 20 mins plus then back in the crate. Same at tea-time, another 20-30 mins. By now he should be happy to just sleep when you are watching a film (shut the door so he is closed in will also help) You need to check and see if he can go a size down in his crate, there shouldnt be room for him to poop without lying in it, and they dont usually want to do that. Continue with the walk last thing at night too. ANY time he poops or does a pee outdoors, give him TONS of praise and play with him. This is to reinforce that what he is doing is great, when its outdoors, as when he does it indoors you will ignore him for 5 mins. He will over the next three weeks make the connection and the routine will also play a big part as he will get used to 'going' at those times, which means he will need when he is going outdoors anyway.
My dog keeps pooping in the house!?
It really sounds like you have a couple of things going on here. First, BCs are rather sensitive, as are most of the herding breeds. Their intelligence level enables them to understand when they are being mistreated. From the former environment you describe, I would almost say this poor dog was abused to an extent. That can create behavior issues that are slow to correct. Patience is the key with those. Second, if she is only 7 months old, she is still quite the puppy and probably has the attention span of a gnat. It makes it difficult for her to focus on the job at hand when there are distractions. Third, because of the intelligence level and the sensitivity, NO negative corrections. You will create a sulking, sneaking, unhappy and untrusting dog who will not be loyal to you or obedient either, for that matter. Whatever your husband is doing, tell him to stop. As far as her not licking you, she may be projecting her feelings for her former owner onto you, and you can't do anything about that except be consistent, compassionate, and level-headed. She will figure out that you are not the other woman soon enough. Next, also about where she came from, it wouldn't surprise me if she had not gotten any kind of proper vet care in her previous home. Possibly a vet check for parasites may reveal the source of her inability to control her bowels at times. It is worth a try. Keep her out of the parts of the house that you cannot handle accidents in until this problem is fixed. You may want to try just plain pee pad training for awhile if she hates grass, so you can at least keep the mess in an area that is easy to clean. The kids bedroom doors should be closed and off limits. Some dogs who have always pooped on concrete never get used to grass. This is common in puppy mill rescues. As far as her attention wandering to whatever moves in the yard, that is her herding instinct. She probably doesn't know what to do with this drive she inherited, so you will need to research occupations to help her release this urge to herd and watch everything. There are many dog toys that are geared specifically to herding breeds who are not working a herd every day. You are good people for taking this girl away from a bad situation, and with patience, you will not find a more loyal type of dog.
Dog poops in house intentionally and spitefully, why?
You need to read the book "culture clash" that is wonderfully illuminating about dog behavior. Think about this. You are abducted by aliens. You are placed in a house with a toilet in each room. If you use the toilet they beat you. You still have to use the toilet. When you are out of doors you love the feel of the grass and to see the sky. It's wonderful outside and you run and play and admire the view. You come inside and see the toilet -- but you know that if you use it when the alien is around you will be beaten. So you wait until he goes away and use the toilet. Now he comes back, and EVERY time he comes back he's mad for some reason so you are always submissive. You have no idea why he's always mad. This is your dog in human culture. The toilets are whatever smell areas he's found. To a dog (who is NOT housebroken) this is A-OK! to a person, no! You need to housebreak this dog properly. Get a crate. When you are not watching him or have him tethered to your waist with a leash, he's in the crate. Take him outside and encourage him to "go". When he does, give him a treat! Stay outside until he does his business -- he enjoys the outside and forgets to go! And why not? What does he get different. Spend a little time waiting for him to go, leash walk if necessary. Be patient. When he does go, praise and treats!! If he does make a house mistake, clean it with an enzyme cleaner you can get at the pet store to remove the smell HE can smell. Put the poop where you want him to go -- in the yard. Keep it up, he will be housebroken!
My dog won't stop pooping and peeing in the house?
Never spank a dog. I have a rescued dog who was abused. She is 14 years old and we still have not been able to housetrain her. She will NOT go in front of people, period, outside, inside.. on a leash, anywhere. Only when people are gone for a long period of time, or asleep. This is because she was taught that when someone sees her potty or poop in the house, she is beaten. That is all she knows. If poop is on the floor she is in trouble. She has NO CLUE that she is in trouble because she did it in the wrong place, or even that she is in trouble because it came out of her. Beat a dog for accidents and you could put doodie on the floor that didn't even belong to her, only to see her run and cower under a table. Never take an animal into your home without reading up on how to take care of one first. I've been foster mommy for far too many abused and neglected dogs in my lifetime.
