My dogs are going to tear apart my marriage.
So DH takes the dogs out to potty yesterday. They SIT in the yard for 5 mins looking at him. (this is new behavior)
He runs to the bank and leaves them gated in the kitchen, it was a 10 min round trip. Comes home and they moved the gate and went pee & poop in the spare bedroom and the kids room.
Why are they doing this? They pee & poop in the house ALL THE TIME. They do it at times they are being ignored, say we are getting changed for the gym and we left the gate up so they are in the kitchen, when we get back in the kitchen 3 mins later, they have peed and pooped on the floor. We have replaced the floor in our living room and our bedroom now.
AT night when we are sitting on the couch with them, they will jump down disappear for a min... I get up to find them and they are peeing in our room. They don't let me know they need to go out.
We were making progress with them, DH works from home 2 days a week and takes them out regularly. They are home alone for 8 hours 3 days a week (those are the days there are NO accidents in the house). They are contained to 1 area, but Im thinking of making their area smaller. They are almost 8 years old. This is an ongoing problem. DH is so fed up.... I'm so fed up.
