Our 11-month old Papillion was housetrained, but it has started to come in from outside and poop right in front of us. What can we do?
Full Question:
We have an 11-month male Papilla. He has been doing a great job of going to the bathroom outside until recently. We will take him outside and he will urinate outside, but we bring him back in, and he sometimes goes inside also. We have been giving him more love and attention, and he will still sometimes go right in front of us. He knows that when we wake up in the morning we will put on our shoes to take him out. One morning we went to put on our shoes, and there he went. What can we do to prevent this?Thank You,
Andrew and Melissa
Ed's Answer:
Crate train this dog. Small dogs are no different than large dogs. Get a dog crate, read the article I have on my web site and house train the dog the correct way (with a dog crate). When a dog goes in front of you - you have the GOLDEN opportunity to scream and holler at this dog like a crazy person. Make this an experience that this dog does not quickly forget. What you do not do is give the dog more affection - this has NOTHING to do with house training.
