Unhousetrainable dog

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"!! :D:D Well done, you're right, it isn't, but then it never was!! ;)
