My dog Mac is a 4 year old Lurcher, who three weeks ago started to toilet on the floor. I moved him into the kitchen at night and he still persists. His routine hasn't changed, he still goes out for the toilet before he goes to bed but it makes no difference. The other morning he had poo'd on his bed and today having been left alone for 3 1/2 hours he poo'd and wee'd in the kitchen despite having been let out before hand.
I have tried treats and praise when he's good but to no avail. He's been smacked and ignored and now tonight he is in the kitchen without tea (he'll do anything for food!) as a punishment.
If anyone has any bright ideas about why after 4 years he's doing this, and especially how to stop it please let me know.
