I walk her twice in the moring (5:00am and 9:30am) just before work. Sometimes when I come home she will poop and pee on my bed sheets. Also she will do the same thing in my office. When I'am home she loves nothing but attention. Please help.

I had the same problem!!!! I learned that the number of months the dog is, the longest amount of time the dog can be in a cage. My dog is 10 months old, so (even though it's really mean to leave it in there for that long) I know I can leave my dog in his cage for 10 hours if necessary. If your dog likes a lot of attention, a good idea would be to, (when you come home from work) not let her out right when you come home, and when you do, don't make a big deal out of it. That way she won't develop seperation anxiety!! << my dog did ;) When you put her in the cage, just make sure you give her a toy (like a bone, not something she can shred and then eat) and a treat!! I hope that helps!! Good Luck!! :)

Crate training. But make sure that she only has a small toy, possibly a water bowl, and only enough room to lay down and turn around. If you give her more room she will poop and pee in there which eventually solves nothing in the end. With small dogs, I would recommend trying to let them out to take a potty break after 6 hours or so. I wouldn't go by the age method, that's a myth. Can you hold your bladder for 11 or 12 hours, especially if you dont have anything to keep your mind off of it.

I have a pug and I tried crate training and my dog just craps in the crate and walks around in it. I have tried everything. I would recommend pet classes. Soon. Good luck. My pug is now an outdoor dog. He craps on our beds, clothes, furniture, everywhere. he will be in the house 10 minutes and go in the house. he is 1 1/2 years old. He's a monster!! I met a lady at the park had a female- hers did the same thing. Good Luck

A little piece of heaven i like to call crate training. alwasy put your pup in the crate when you are not able to watch(i.e. Sleeping, and work) as sooon as they get into cage give them a treat so they like the crate from the sstart. it is really easy and it works if you stick to it. Oh! but ask someone at a pet store about the SIZE of the crate because if it is too big, they will just go on one side and sleep on the other. if too small they will get costerphobic and never go into a crate again.
when we trained my beagle we said "go nu-night" every time she went in and gave her a treat. now all you have to do to get her in the crate is say "go nu-night"

She's spoiled, and has abandonment issues. When she does this, it's her way of telling you that she's unhappy with your leaving each day.
A companion dog for her might help solve the problem. Dogs are social animals.
I had a pointer a few years back. When I'd go to work, he'd freak out, try to crawl under the fence, and finally when that didn't work, he'd rip into the trash cans and strew trash all over the yard. When I finally brought home another dog (a wirehaired terrier) they bonded instantly, and the problem went away.
Good luck with your pup!

Crate her when you are gone. Praise her a lot for "good " behavior. If you choose not to crate her, use gates to prevent her from getting into rooms that she messes in. Many people with small dogs in apts "paper train" their dogs-having a special place for that. I have heard of liter boxed trained dogs, though I do not know any personally.
Good luck

She may need to be crated. Also, she might have separation anxiety. Or, she may be pooping on your bed to get attention. If the house is still in one piece on your arrival, it's pro bally not separation anxiety. I suggest a crate and a dog walker...someone who makes a midday visit to potty/walk/play with her.

Crate her. Crate training will help to keep her from messing inside the house. There's lots of information on crate training on the web, check it out: http://www.ddfl.org/behavior/crate-train.pdf

Try putting her in a crate while you are at work. That's what I did with my dog and she would hold it until I got home.

Sounds like "separation anxiety" - and she's retaliating. I wonder if she was 'used to' companionship before you got her?
If getting another small dog would work for you, it certainly might work for her.
