King Charles pooping in the house

• King Charles pooping in the house Craig Froehlich Posted : 4/29/2007 9:45:50 PM I have a King Charles Spaniel that is about a year and a half old.  In the past few weeks he has started pooping in the house again, after being trained for several months.  A perfect example happened tonight, he was scratching at the door to go out.  I walked out into the yard with him and he just stood there and looked at me, then turned to the door to go back in.  I waited for about 2 or 3 mins and he just stood by the door so I let him back in.  Then after being back in the house for a minute or two he walked over and pooped on the carpet.  This has been happening quite a bit lately.  Any ideas on what might be causing this, he's seems to be telling us he has to go, but will not go outside.   Thanks!

• spiritdogs Posted : 4/30/2007 6:47:56 AM Have you scolded him for accidents in the house?  Sometimes the dog learns "I'd better not poop in front of the human", instead of "oops I made a mistake, better go outside next time".  Be sure you aren't doing that - also, stay outside longer, and if he doesn't go, put him in his crate, not loose in the house.  Then, try again a few minutes later and praise or give him a cookie when he finishes his business outdoors.  Clean any mistakes with Petastic, so the smell will not linger for him to find again.  HTH 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
