My dogs get super jealous too but they dont have behavioral problems. I adopted a little maltese girl that was poorly treated and she used to poop in bits all over the house. a little piece here, a little piece a few feet away, a little more in another spot. It was so annoying! She also used to pee on every rug she could find. I started accustoming them to taking them out 4 times a day since I work from home. They go out at 8 am when I wake up, then at 1pm on my lunch break, then again at 5 when I'm out work and one final time right before bed time. We have 0 accidents in the house nor in their crates and they do very well. I recommend this method if you're home all the time like I am. I've noticed also, with the dogs I've had they usually dont like to make a mess where they sleep. I've never had a problem with them peeing or pooping in their crates or beds. |
