Question by lovinyamtyeknwy: My potty trained Beagle has been acting out and pooping on the floor….HELP!?
I’m very pregnant and in the past month or so, my Beagle has been pooping on the floor in the middle of the night. I have 3 dogs and I know it is her because she has had other problems and has very bad food allergies. She has a dog door that she can go out, and we’ve had her for 2 years and she’s never deliberately pooped on the floor. The other night we were watching a movie and she squatted right in front of the TV to pee. I don’t understand why she is behaving like this. I love her to death, but with the baby coming anyday I am not going to be able to deal with her behavior. It’s getting to the point where I’m going to have to give her away, and the idea breaks my heart. HELP PLEASE!?!?!?!?!
She isn’t pregnant because I got her fixed a few months ago. She’s only 2 years old so I dont think she’s getting too old. She uses the dog door all the time….she runs out it to bark at the neighbors dogs and she doesnt poop on the floor during the day, only at night. I’ve had plenty of blood tests run on her, thats how we figured out that she had food allergies, and she is on special vet approved dog food. Kidney failure would result in peeing on the floor wouldn’t it? And it doesnt make sense why she’d be afraid of the dog door when she is perfectly capable of going outside during the day.

Question by crystal: 14 week old puppy pooping in the crate at night and all over house?
My neighbor has a 14 week old female american pit bull terrier puppy that pees and poops all over her house and poops in her crate.
Please read ALL the info before responding.
Her crate is a small crate typically used for a cat so that there is not extra room for her to poop and she still does.
She will NOT yet walk on her leash,she stubbornly sits there and would rather be dragged than walked.Trust me I tried to help my neighbor with this to no avail.So walking her before bed to get things moving right now is not going to work.
She eats at 4pm and has nothing later than that.
She puts the pup in the yard for an hour to two before bed.
As far as discipline,I take the puppy once or twice a week and when she does pee or poop I shout a firm no and place her in the yard immediately.
Do you think that she may have a behavior problem?
I was thinking that she may have a food allergy that is causing her to have these issues(it is not always diarrhea,sometimes it’s hard) my neighbor feeds her Pedigree dog food,I know that she should be on puppy food but my neighbor does not want to buy 2 foods for her 2 dogs.
Please don’t be rude for it is not my dog and there is nothing I can do as far as forcing my neighbor to change her food.
She says that she brought her to the vet and they said that she’s fine.
Another thing,whether she’s at her owner’s house or visiting my home,there is another dog who you would think she would follow the lead from or learn from and she still does not.
I never said anything about the breed of my neighbor’s other dog or my dog.
The breeds have no baring on the situation.

It’s only 14 weeks old, if it’s only at night then maybe she just can’t hold on that long. Just put some paper down; when she goes on that then praise her loads, and move on to praising her loads when she goes in the garden. As she gets a bit older she’ll get the hang of it. Bt really your neighbour wants to get something a bit bigger than a cat crate; she should be able to get up, walk around and lie outstretched in it, or it could interfere with her development,
