Why do dogs only poop in the house?

Answer by  Isidro (624)

They do this is because they are in known territory and they feel comfortable to go in there but many times really have to go and cant get out.

Dogs poop in the house if they are not properly trained as a puppy. Most dogs can be retrained but it take a lot of diligence and positive associations to help aid this. Some dogs simply do not like to go outside often and will poop onside out of spite for their owners.

Dogs take time to be trained properly. Start with puppy pads or newspaper that you can put where you desire them to poop, and slowly move it toward the door, until eventually they are going outside. You can use the praise system to reward them for going outdoors. Set the timer for at least every hour until bowels are trained.

Dogs are actually very clean and will only poop inside if they can't get outside to go. try taking them outside regularly, start with every 2 hours and after everytime they eat or drink. Clean inside very well with an amonia base cleaner.
