Question

I have a shih-tzu and she has always been the best, but ever since we moved and then went out of state she have been pooping in our beds or couches.. but you see she always used to go to pee and poop in a bin and now she only wants to pee in it and wants to poop else where what can i do ? I'm tired and fustrated.... I have been crate training all over again but w/out success...

I moved but ended moving back home she has been going in her bin but she only pees in it but wont poop in it . I clean it up after she pees but she is determine to go s**t everywhere on our beds. I have had her for over 1yr and 6 months now and she started doing all this nonscense.... I do crate her ever since she started up with this ..

Answer 1

I don't know how long ago you moved but the behavior is tied in to the moving.

Usually the poo is more attitude than accident. She is probably stressed out from the move and is feeling anxiety.
If she is only doing it while you are gone then it is time to have a crate for her to sleep in when you're not home.
Put a soft blanket in there and a toy and put her in the crate when you leave. You can cover it with a blanket as well if you think she would feel more secure.
Having a crate is like having her own private space where she can go when she feels anxious or stressed out. She will feel safer there and it will be much better. It takes a couple weeks for an adult dog to get used to it if she hasn't ever slept in one before.

Then, when you get home, go outside with her. When she does it outside, praise her. When she does the poo outside, praise her a lot! And tell her what a good girl she is. She's going to like the praise she gets for doing the right thing.

If she's pooping in the house when you are home then you need to supervise her at all times. If she starts to squat grab her and carry her outside right away and offer praise when the poo gets done outside.
If she's not being supervised she should be crated.
Hopefully a couple months or a few should be enough to get her behavior back to normal.
Good luck!

Probably she is telling you that you cant ever leave a long time without her. This is her way of puniching you for being gone. Or moving. My cat did that to my sisters new place. She moved from my parents house to her own place and he started pissing every where. I brought him back home with me and he has been fine ever since.
