I have a rescued 3 year old greyhound. We've had him for about 4 months. We've had the hardest time housetraining him. I feel bad about doing the crate thing, since it's all greyhounds know when they are racing and he's been out of one for those 4 months now and will be hard to put him back in one. I know he understands going outside, because when we are around he wont go in the house and will let us know he needs to go outside. We have him on a rigid schedule. But at times he will still go inside the house when we are gone. Even after we've JUST taken him out and he did his businesses. We've let him out and he will go, then we'll leave for a half hour and come back and there is pee and poo on the floor. This behavior also applies to other things like the trash and cat food. He wont do it when we are there, but he does when we are gone. And I know he can hold it, because he's done it before. What is wrong with him and why cant he get it that its NOT ok to go inside when we are gone?
