dog

[Connemmara]

Hi I have my dog for about 6 years and whilst it was difficult for the 1st year to toilet train him - he is not too bad. However this week he has peed on my wooden floor at the back entrance of my house for about 3 times this week and on the Monday he done a poo. I am distracted about this. When he comes bouncing in from the back yard I know to keep the door open for a minute or so and he will run back out but when that did not happen I closed the door and went into living room and then went out to find he had done a pee. My life seems to revolve around his toilet needs and I dont know whether I can live with this if it got so bad. Any answers would be appreciated.

Same as you - its tooooo cold outside for him. He needs a proper regular walk after meals. Keep walking till he ablutes, then praise him & head home. May take time to start but he will soon get the message what the walk is for.
