Thanks for all your replies. When we came back from shopping today and found the poop on the rug we put her in the family room closet, with the door open but a barrier so she could not get out. That has become her cage. We had a quite day of videos since it was raining. We let her out to pee and then back to the pen. about 10 she came one and jumped on the couch to be with us. About an hour later we need to go out for a minute and she followed us out like she wanted to come with us. We pet her and told her we would be right back. How stupid is that. We were back in 10 minutes and she was still outside waiting for us dancing with excitement. Yea right. She went in and pooped on the rug then came out to wait for us. The doog get so much attention and loving that all I can think of is that she is pissed that she could not go with us so she pooped on the carpet to convey her displeasure. So how do I tell her that all her actions will get her is a NEW HOME, cause we will not put up with this. I have had several Golden Retrievers, a Dalmatian, Labs, mutts and Rottweiler and never ever had this problem. Everybody I know with a little dog like this has this problem most much worse then we do. We will not change our life, EG no rugs, to please the dog. We feed her, play with her, take care of her, groom her and change her pads. For that we get her attention on our lap where we pet her and play with her. This is a once sided relationship that I can live with but not if she continues to poop in the house. She will never poop on he cage because she like it clean. I once put her poop from the rug to her cage and she did not like that. We I came back she had buried in under her pillow where it was out of sight out of mind. She is a smart dog but I don't know how to tell her her day are numbered. Where is Eddie Murphy when you need him! |
