| Teenage rebellion? Our baby is now 8 months old. In my mind, he's 100% potty trained. But it seems like he's recently going through a teenager phase. We use to keep him sleeping outside. But recently, I've allowed him to sleep in the house. But when I keep him out last night, he decides to poop randomly. He always poop on his peepad. But it seems like if I keep him out at night, he will try to "prove" he's angry at me. Am I reading into this too much? If I'm right, is there anyway to correct him? Parents can't let their teenage kid be in charge, right? |

| Why do you make him sleep outside? I think you would be better off keeping him in a crate in your house. It's dangerous to leave little ones outside all night.

But I think you should keep your dog inside the house, still... just my opinion. Anyhow, someone (not YT member but animal expert) said that dog don't do things to punish us. Their brain isn't program that way. Buuut I feel the same with you. My experience with my dogs are they do bad things to get back to us... But I think the truth is that they could be confused... with the changes maybe?? | |

| I'm a firm believer that dogs are fully capable of pushing our buttons, and this may very well be what he is doing. Give him what he wants and let him sleep inside if it not a huge inconvenience to you. Choose your battles wisely, sometimes its better to let them have what they want, and sometimes its not. In this case, its not a dominance thing, so its ok to let him have what he wants.
