It doesn't matter if we're only gone 20 minutes. It's spiteful. We can even be in the house, but if he is not able to get to us, he'll poop. It is always in one corner of the dining room or in our 2.5 year old daughter's room. We used to crate him every time we went out, but we started backing off this summer because we thought he might get too hot cooped up in there. He did okay for a while, it seemed, but now it's practically every time he's alone. It makes no difference if he's just pooped outside--it's like he holds some back to use as ammo. I think it's probably an attention thing. What is the best way to give him the attention he wants in a short amount of time? Or any other theories about why he might be doing this...
Oh, as a puppy, he also liked to eat his poop, if that's relevant.
