Stop dog pooping in house

[weeferg]

Does anyone know of any ways to stop dogs pooping in the house? Shes 6 month and realy good with peeing outside and letting me know when she needs to pee but the only time she poos outside is in the morning and i praise and give her a treat but during the day she does it anywhere in the house. Thanks

meals at regular times and then take it for a walk?

Then even at six month' s old she's not able to retain overnight or simply not got it into her head that she should poops ouside - how are you training her?

[weeferg]

Do that but she seems to hold the poop in till we get home

[weeferg]

Lots of praise when she does her poop outside i dont like hitting so when she does it in house i tell her its bad but i dont think she understands me haha

[carmalee]

how long is she lft alone and what is her daily routine

[pastafreak]

When you are home-take her out every hour.If she does it indoors-do not shout at her-just put the lead on and take her straight out. She will soon get the message that out means poo. If you have to-try using a crate-don't give her the run of the house.

She goes out in morning as soon as we are up then out after breakfast then back out before i go to work usualy about half 1 shes left for 4 hours then when i come home shes back out again then she gets dinner sleeps for about an hour then back out then not out again till bed time but its like as if she doesnt like doing it outside

[pastafreak]

Do you put down paper for her when you are out? Take some of the soiled paper-and a bit of poo-and put outside where you want her to go.
As I said-don't give her the run of the house when you are out-limit her to hall or kitchen...or get a crate...she is not likely to go where she sleeps-so may learn to keep it in while she is confined.

She screams if shes in a crate and gets herself worked up

[weeferg]

Put a training pad down she only gets hall livingroom n kitchen but she does it when im in aswell not just when im out

[carmalee]

little confused with your answer but basically what may work is that she goes out more frequently - she is still very young and therefore prone to accidents - she will certainly pick up on any irritation on your part. Don't ever hit the dog - whatever the circumstances that culminate in the dog messing in the house then it's your fault and not the dogs - you haven't allowed the dog sufficient time or she is being left alone for too long - she is not 'saving it up to punish you' -

[pastafreak]

You need to make the crate into a comfy den....really cosy and safe for her-toys...a soft bed...even cover it. Introduce her to it a few minutes at a time.

[weeferg]

Shes only left 4 hours by herself and i dont like hitting so she doesnt get hit

[weeferg]

@Pastafreak covering it makes it worse iv tryed getting her in with a treat but it doesnt work iv filled it with toys but that doesnt do out just leaves me with washing cause she poos on them. Im starting to thing she doesnt like being by herself

[carmalee]

weeferg - you just need to take her out more often -
