If you get him neutered this may help curb the marking, as far as the poo-ing goes, you need to make sure you let him stay outside long enough to go number 2. I know Rizzo requires a poo 2x a day, in the morning when we wake up, that trip can be anywhere from 5 mins to 25, but he doesn't come in until he does both. In the evenings he goes once as well, again, this could take a while, but if he seems to be taking a while to go number 2 I'll just play fetch and chase with him and he'll stop, find a spot and do his business. Then he gets lots of praise and we go inside and play some more, which means back outside just in case he worked up a pee. You just have to know your dog, I know Rizz poos 2x (at least) but no more than 3x a day, and has to be let out at least every 3-4 hours to pee, if not I'm mopping and it's totally my fault. Of course I always leave a pad (we're just starting on the potty patch and its working really well) for him to use in case of emergencies which I know come up esp. with such a small bladder.
Make sure you are using an enzyme cleaner to get the pee smell out, just because you cant smell it doesn't mean he cant. |
