Have you tried rewarding him for 'pooping' where you want him to. Make it a big deal. In our house the "big" treat is cheese or chicken.
Does he have a certain time of day that he goes poop? Mine has a pretty set schedule...first thing when he wakes up and about 4 in the afternoon. When he has an accident is it always in the same spot?
Does he have free run of the house? Until a few weeks ago Leo NEVER had free run of the whole house. He was really good about having NO accidents downstairs. He could not be upstairs alone... He could only be upstairs if one of us was watching him. Our puppy is 18 months and I feel like we are finally potty trained in the whole house.
This may sound really wierd... but works!! Dog naturally don't want to go potty where there food is. So, every night I would sprinkle food around the house.... a couple of pieces in each room. Leo really liked to pee on the stairs...so I would put MORE food on the stairs. I thought it was really weird but I did try it and IT WORKED. |
