smells like #2

Post by popoki112 »

Gosh, can i just say i am SO THANKFUL for this website. I swear, i find myself reading it everyday and posting something new on it everyday.

My chow - i THOUGHT - was potty trained! Then today i see a big smelly #2 in my brothers room! it was too late to tell her bad dog, because it had been done. So i just immediately took her outside. Before she'd cry in front of the door to let me know to take her out, and now she just does it where ever. This is the second time today she takes a dump in the house. I take her out at least 5 times a day too. I thought once they're trained, they stay that way. This furball is driving me crazy!

I guess I have been really lucky, I have raised 3 chows from puppy's and they never went in the house at all. No paper training, no accidents.
You have to disinfect the area to the point she can't smell any sign of where she went. If she smells even a trace of it she will keep going in the same spot. Our Chows would only go in a small area in the yard, you don't have to watch your step because you know exactly where they do it.

yeah, usually she has one spot in the yard where does go. This is the first time she's went inside the house (the last time was at my friends house) Thankfully she did it on a bag, so i took the bag outside as well as her, to show her and threw it away. She knows her spot outside so i don't know why she never gave me a warning that she had to go. I hope this doesn't always happen. it was so much easier when she knew to go outside.

i have been having the same problem with my Chloe, i was amazed at how well she would go outside right from the first day we got her home, i thought wow this potty training is easy, well a month later and now if i am busy and my sons bedroom door is open she will go in there and leave him a little "surprise". I dont usually catch it until a little while after she has done it, but if she sees me coming out of his room, she takes off cause she knows she did something bad, i take her out many times a day but i know that since she has used his room once she keeps going there if i dont get to her in time and we try to keep his door shut all the time and today i caught her trying to go into my other sons room. i just dont know the right way to discipline her for this, she know she is doing something bad cause she runs from me when i see it. keeping the doors shut is fine but i know that doesnt fix the problem she already showed me that she will just find another room.
