I just dont know what to do anymore ....

We are watching my MIL dog but it looks like we might be keeping him.....so when we got him, he was peeing and pooping everywhere in the house....Finally we had him trained to go on the wee wee pad and then transistioned to him going out side on the deck ................so we have not had any issues with him going inside the house at all since right before Easter-----in the last two days he has peed and pooped in the house and I dont know what to do......If I catch him in the act, I yell no, pick it up and put it outside and make him stay outside for a period of time.....why is he reverting back to his old ways????? How can I get him back to being good??????He wont poop or pee when we are out but he has accidents when we are home....its not like he is going to the sliding glass door and I am ignoring him...he will just be running around and all of a sudden he is quiet and I will look over and he is going to the bathroom on our wood floors!!!!!HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry this is so long I just dont know what to do anymore!!!!

Do you think it might be an issue with rain? On rainy days, we have to practicially push our dogs out the door to get them to go.

we do confine him during the day or anytime when we are not home but I feel that is cruel to confine him while we are home.

As soon as we wake up in the morning he goes outside, he eats and then he goes outside again. Then he is confined because we are both at work. I then come home in the late afternoon/early evening and let him out or take him for a walk. Then any time he goes near the back door or if I feel it been too long since the last time he went to the bathroom I make him go outside. After dinner he is taken for another walk. Sometimes he will be out and pee and then come back in the house and 5 minutes later he will poop in the house!!!!!Just very frustrating.

It could have something to do with the rain because I also had to push him out the door but the other day it wasnt raining and he peed and pooped in the house.

How old is he? Holden went through a short period around 6 months where he would come in a poop on the carpet. We blocked off all rooms with carpets until he would go outside. After a few weeks, he stopped.

Has anything changed with your routines? Maybe he needs a more established routine?

I'm sorry, I remember how frustrated I was when Holden did this. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

He is 1 years old and nothing has really changed with his routine at all. It seems when we are hanging out in the basement it is a problem. Even though there are stairs that go right to the kitchen with the sliding glass doors to go out on the deck. When we are in the basement, if I see him sniffing around I bring him right upstairs to go outside and make sure i do it frequently to avoid accidents. When he goes I verbally praise him and give him a treat. I just dont know why the change over the last few days. So far today he has been good!!!! Thank you for all the help and suggestions I appreciate any and all help

He could also be doing this for attention or he is confused. He is in a brand new place and very nervous.

Just continue being patient with him.

it will take time to train him the right way, but it will happen.
