My dog refuses to poop in our backyard after moving from our apartment to a house. Any suggestions?
Full Question:
Hi Cindy,I have a 7 year old dachshund (Maddie) who refuses to "poop" in our backyard. Maddie has always lived in an apartment until we recently purchased our first house. She has always been walked and rarely has accidents in the house. She doesn't seem to have a problem urinating in the yard, but refuses to poop. At first I thought she was just trying to force me to still take her for her walks, which I have no problem doing. However, I have gotten some really nasty looks from neighbors when she poops on their yard (even though I ALWAYS pick-up after her). I am looking for some training tools to get her to understand that she needs to potty in our yard, but that she can still have her walk. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Karyn

Hi Karyn,
I would recommend our housetraining eBook.
You are going to have to go through a “re-training” process since Maddie’s new potty routine is different.
I would direct you to the search function in the upper left corner of the website for any additional questions you may have. If you type in your key words it will guide you to articles, Q & A’s and posts on our forum.
