Unhousetrainable dog

[CAYLA]

Why would u have pets if that's how easy u can part with them?

I'm thinking about getting him one of those soft crates to put in the bedroom for bedtime does anyone know a good place to get one from? His metal cage one is too big for the bedroom. Thanks

Don't use bleach to clean up afterwards as it encourages toilet habits due to the smell.

Exercise encourages the dog to poo so I would take for the last walk as late as possible. Also does the food you have changed to actually agree with your dog and are you feeding too much?

Whilst I won't argue that the irritation of showing something up a dog's backside is likely to make it defecate or that thermometers are annoyingly good at it I personally would not be advocating it as a training method.

........

This particular aspect of the discussion came about when a.n.other mentioned that a small section of very tightly rolled paper inserted carefully into a dogs rectum, would encourage the dog to empty. I replied that when I was involved with racing greyhounds, shortly before a race we would place a match, in the same place and to the same effect. In true HHO tradition, it has now been turned around that it isn't to be advocated for "toilet training"!! Well done, you're right, it isn't, but then it never was!!
