 too distracted to poo
Thanks for the advice. We do just stand in one spot, and he usually pees eventually. He only poops when he is running around the yard free. At night, it is difficult to even get him to pee. I think he is afraid of the dark! As soon as it is dark out, he looks nervous. His head and eyes dart around, he growls and does a little bark at nothing, and RUNS for the house so hard I'm afraid he will hurt his neck. I try to reassure him, but he's a bit chicken. I had the same problem today because my neighbors are having work done on their house. The noise (Nail gun) sent Spikey over the edge. He ran for the house shaking. Poor pup. I know the breeder we got him from had guns, maybe PTSD? I put him in his pen w/papers. He did poo on the paper after about 15min. I plan on taking him out later, we'll see what happens...
