Why does my roommate's dog poop on the bed's?

Question

My roommate has a 8 month shepard mix dog and she keeps pooping on the beds in our house! She has pooped on one roommates bed once and anothers twice. Today she pooped on a futon. She is left alone most of the day because we are all college students and her owner is never around and refuses to get rid of her....So does anyone know why she does it or some advice to stop it short of getting rid of the dog.

Answer 1

You need to crate train the dog. It sounds like seperation anxiety, since it poops where she can smell the people who live with her

Answer 2

The dog needs to be trained that the only acceptable place to do that kind of thing is outside or in a specific part of the house. You should all smack yourselves over the nose with a newspaper because she is pooing on the beds because you allow it to happen. If you closed doors she wouldn't get into your room and poo on your bed. Either keep her confined to one area (baby gates are good for big dogs) or keep her outside during the day. It is however cruel to leave a big dog alone all day with nothing to do. Once it starts to get bored you will have distruction around the house. Hopefully she is getting lots of long walks when the owner is home. Take the dog outside after every meal and praise her if she goes to the toilet. Do Not punish her for doing it indoors as, because of her owners lack of training her, she dosent know any better.

Answer 3

I have heard of this before. A dog's owners left it with friends while on vacation. The friends were gone for a day. The dog did as you described. Dogs are very social. They want attention and comfort. I believe they retaliate for being left alone. Show this thread to the roommate.

Answer 4

Give the dog a real home, not this set up. Do it when the roomy is gone, tell him the dog ran away. Find a good home where he has company, room to play and POOP! SHe poops on the bed because she cannot poop outdoors, she is abandoned and she longs for attention. Poor dog. Idiot roomy.

Answer 5

Dog poops anywhere they want if they are not trained to poop properly. Your dog chose to poop on bed maybe because of the warmness it brings and a grassy feeling. Try this, the next time your dog poops on bed or any place that he should'nt, pick up the poops with newspaper and then gently whip it on his face while telling him to do it next time outside (showing the door or outside the house).

Answer 6

because she needs more attention than her owner is giving her --- probably needs potty lessons too... the dog needs to be trained to go outside but that does requires someone being available to let her in and out.

He obviously doesn't need a dog. You can file a complaint since this is your roommate - the dog needs a better home!

Answer 7

close the door...if that's not possible

buy an electronic dog repellent

you can't hear it but the dog does...but it has a 50/50 chance of working and it costs like 40 dollars....just scare it out of your room when ever you can... if that doesn't work just take the dog to the humane society, they'll find a good home for the dog...and then just tell your roommate that it ran away...and buy him a plant to take care of

Answer 8

the dog is getting back at your roomate, tell your roomate to stop pooping in the doggy bed too

Answer 9

the dog is mad at you guys for leaving him alone or he is mad at you for being mean to him? Put him in a crate when no one is around. Close the doors to the bedrooms.....

Answer 10

the dog is most likely upset and wants more attention. just rub her nose in it and she will learn her lesson. its a cruel solution but it works, if not get a spay bottle and shoot her when she does something bad.
