Hi Jan, Harvey did that. An animal trainer told me he is marking, using poop instead of pee. To stop the behavior I put a potty pad out. I gave him tons of praise and then a treat when he pooped on it. He got the idea. Nonetheless, I watch him like a hawk when we visit people and make extra trips outside because I don't trust him 100%. Vicki

She pooped in the house once yesterday and once today... both times, shortly after coming back in from outside. What's with that? Also, she SNEAKS!!!! She'll disappear for a few seconds and come prancing back, the give away that she's done the bad thing. We have never been harsh with her. We 'lament'... and put her outside after she has her poopathon, ignore her briefly, then all is forgiven and we move on. She does ring the bells and goes out to pee. So, what's up with the pooping? I can't figure out what's happening on the 'good' days that isn't happening on the 'bad' days. > > Jan, the poop sweeper > > > > > > Peace, happiness and joy, > "The very purpose of our lives is happiness, the very motion of our lives is toward happiness." > ~~~~~ the Dalai Lama~~~~~ > > > > > > > > > --------------------------------- > Yahoo!
