Hi B Kessler:

My Comet is fully trained to go outdoors and he never poops and pees in the same place. I don't know why this is, but he seems to be able to pee anywhere outside, but he takes his time to find the perfect pooping spot.

I've heard on this eboard that alot of dogs that are trained on wee-wee pads seem to have a problem peeing everywhere indoors.

As long as your dog understands what you want him to do, and you feel comfortable with the way he responds, then it should be OK. If you would rather him do #1 and #2 in the same place then it's worth trying something else.

One possible solution may be to try these new dog litter boxes, that work just like cat litter boxes. Dogs can pee and then bury their poop. This will allow the dog to feel like he is not peeing and pooping in the same place. It's worth a try.
