At first I thought it was b/c it was too hot outside, then b/c the grass was wet, or it was too windy or it was too cold...... And it's only once in a great while...although, Madison is prone to going inside in the middle of the night. They're actually PRETTY good though. I mean, if they HAVE to go and you're asleep, I figure it's MY fault, not theirs.

I used to be able to tell the difference between the two b/c Madison had such an "issue" with his gut ...but now that he's so much better and on the same food as Max (for the most part), it's almost impossible to tell the difference. Actually, I'd rather have it that way than the other way.

I know it's frustrating when one does it and kind of "teaches" the other one to do it too....luckily, I nipped the marking thing in the bud when I saw Max lift his leg in the house...he knows better! Good luck; I don't know what you do; I just try to watch them closely (which I know you do) and keep opening the door up for them to go out. Poo DNA would be great, but the problem is, that once they've done it, how can you reprimand them for it unless you saw them do it? I'm sure it would be out of body, out of mind, LOL.
yeah, not really looking to reprimand...just need to know who to look out for LOL maybe i need to take it back to square one for a bit and do the crate training all over again. i dunno...i hate to do that cuz they are used to having free roam unless I am gone for several hours. then tessa goes in the crate. she still chews on things from time to time so I have to keep her put in her crate if i am gone for more than an hour or so.

anyway...i dont think there really is a solution to it...just have to keep a closer eye on them i guess.
