Megan,
your post was excellent. However I believe that I would suggest an x pen or a small room when she is gone rrather than a crate. Especially since he hates the crate and gets so upset that he poops in tere. He is pooping because he is so upset that he loses control. My daughter had a dog that did that and they started putting him in the bathroom and that solved the problem.
The OP has been given a lot of good advice. If she loves the dog and wants to make it work she will try some of these things. If she does not want to try, then perhaps it is best if Teddy finds a new home. |
