I do not believe that dogs poop to be vendictive. That would indicate that they have the ability to reason and to know that pooping is going to make you mad, and to reason that even thgough they are going to get scolded, it is worth it just to make you clean it up.
So It has to be stress that is causing it. |
So you think an X pen would be a better idea? Either way I don't want to use a pee pad. I will clean up if she messes but i don't want to teach her that is where she needs to go, because she is doing so well outside.
