pooping habits

• pooping habits jaye Posted : 5/7/2006 5:14:18 PM jake wont poop outside in our neighborhood.  he will hold it in for two days and then poop on the floor in the middle of the night.  hes done that twice.  he absolutely will not poop around where we live but if i take him to the park he poops away!  doesnt matter what park.  any park he poops withing 5 minutes of getting there and then a second time within a couple minutes of that, sometimes a third time.  why wont he poop in the neighborhood??  weird!

• papillon806 Posted : 5/7/2006 9:53:02 PM It's probably because there isn't a scent of poop around the neighborhood.  Have you ever tried placing his poop (that he did in the house) outside so that next time he goes out he smells that it's a place to go to the bathroom? This is how I potty trained my pup (poop-wise) and it worked amazingly! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jaye Posted : 5/7/2006 10:45:00 PM no i havnt tried that, i didnt think of that.  maybe you are right because i live in an apartment building where there are no other dogs.  except for my emma who has no problem pooping outside.  im required to keep poop off the ground outside though.  maybe i could try it in a small area where no one goes much.  jake actually did poop outside the very first day we got him, but not since.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• spiritdogs Posted : 5/8/2006 6:56:56 AM If he's pooping in the house in the middle of the night, he has too much freedom, and should be crated at night.  If he's under 6 months old, you should set your alarm and take him out once during the night, then place him right back in the crate. In fact, if you want him to poop in the yard, or in a different area, you can "bait" the area with poop smell, but also remember to crate him in between potty trips until he has to use the right spot. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
