Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Hey,
so Mr Shiro has been with us for a little over a month now, and has been improving in many ways. He is much more stable, walks much better on a leash (still gets excited / scared but less so), and is learning basic commands like Sit, Down, Heel, Paw, and so on.
One problem that keeps popping up is that whenever we leave him alone for a little while, he poops and pees inside our house. This happens at night too when we are sleeping.
We always walk him *right* before we go to bed and walk him first thing in the morning. There is about a 6hour wait at night for him in between these walks.
He doesn't do his business inside when we are around. Only when access to us is blocked (we are sleeping in another room / we are not at home)
We clean the stuff without making a fuss, not paying him any attention positive or negative, we are just ignoring him when we clean up.
How to best deal with this little problem? This happens even if i am away for an hour. (i haven't left him alone for longer then that). Also this makes him NOT having to poop very often when we go for a walk so little opportunity for praise when he does this outside.
thx

| Do you use a crate? If not crate train him most dogs are very reluctant to do their business in the crate.
For clean up from previous duty calling you need a cleaner like Natures Miracle to remove any and all scent left behind. http://www.ilovenaturesmiracle.com/catalog/prod_detail.php?id=3
Not sure if this products is available in Europe but I'm sure something like is. |

| I would say it could be anxiety too. I know neo poops when he gets anxious or excited. Just not in the house. Def crate train him. He will mfost likely not poo, and that can be his safe space. |

| Yeah the create saved us if it wasn't for that our house would be a mess. He still now at 3months has accidents in the house but has gotten much better. He will not go in his create unless no other option is available. He will bark like crazy in the morning to wake us up and take him out - most of the time we'll make it but on the rare occasion he will pee in his cage - has never pooped in his cage. I would never leave him outside his cage or let him roam the house freely when we are not home.
Good luck! Sounds frustrating. |
