Dog Health Questions: Dog training?

My dog is a 2 year old golden retriever and boxer mix. He is constantly pooping and peeing in the same place. We take him out all the time and we try to keep him out there for as long as possible but he often barks like crazy. He normally goes to the bathroom inside right when we leave or when we go up stairs. When we come home or walk down the stairs he usually hides under the bed because he knows he did something bad. We have tried many things and nothing works. what should we do?

Dog Training - Secrets For Training Your Dog

Recommended Answer:
Crate train.

Block off his access to the place he has accidents.

When you take him out, bring a handful of delicious treats-like pieces of hot dog. When he goes, give him the treats and praise him. They learn to "save up" their pee so they'll get their treats.

Just to clarify-your dog doesn't hide under the bed because he knows he did something bad-he hides under the bed because he has associated you coming home or downstairs with being punished. He does not understand why.

How to Find the Perfect Dog Training System

• he wants to get it on with a female


• Clean the spot where he goes most frequently REALLY good, you want that scent gone as best as possible.
  Dogs with pent up energy do odd things like this.
  Is your dog getting enough exercise?
  I would exercise him regularly and see if there's a change in his behavior.
  You can't punish the dog unless you catch him in the act.
  If you provide him with regular exercise I think you should crate train him. He may be feeling insecure when he's alone. A crate symbolizes relaxation and being calm. I would put him in the crate when you leave, as long as he's been exercised before hand.
  Prevention will go a long way to stop this behavior.
  Good luck.


• If he's not doing his business when you put him out, try the "match trick". This is a trick used by dog show people to get their dog to go poop when he is on his walk and he won't go (the last thing you want to hear is "clean-up to ring 5" - and it's your dog!).
  
  Take a regular match from a matchbook (NOT a stick match) and insert the match-head end into the rear end of the dog, but only about half way. Take him outside and walk him around the yard and tell him "go potty" (the idea is to train him to go on command). The match will stimulate his bowel and he will go. It might take a few minutes, but be patient. Do this every single night after he's had his dinner and you will get results.It also sounds like he's got some anxiety about being outside and he can still smell where he has gone in the past, no matter how well you think you have cleaned up and he will continue to mark. To clean this up totally - even what you can't smell, get some "Anti Icky-poo", yes - that is really the name.
