Dog pooping on bed?

Question

My jack russell terrier has recently begun to poop on my bed. Is there a reason for this? If I need to train it to not do it how do I train it??? Any info would help, thank you!

nvr hit my Jack Russel but I did raise my voice at him when he got a hold of my silver ring (my mother gave it to me) and he buried it! I haven't found it yet, but its ok, it was cheap and it didnt have any sentimental value, but I got a bit mad at him, I raised my voice and ignored him for a 5 minutes...

Answer 1

Pooping on your bed could be a sign of resentment of you... or how you've treated him/her. Its sometimes common among smaller breds. They fight back in the only way they know how. Sit back and think... have you been neglectful, or raised your voice. Have you hit your Jack Russell?

Answer 2

I don't want to be smug, but your cute lil puppy dog is, well, let's just say, mad at you. Some thing you, or someone else did, or even a change in conditions (as perceived by your animal) can cause this behavior. Some times, they are giving you a run for alpha position too. You know, doggy dominance. "I will show YOU, you human you!"

Let him know you noticed his ummm, sh!tty behavior, no, don't beat him or rub his face in it...he already knows he did a really bad thing - that's why he did it. Kick his butt outside, figuratively, of course, and put him in time out. When you let him back in, the door to your room is shut. Of course, you cleaned up in there while the lil sh!t was outside. Good luck. I so hate when they decide to try our patience in such a base manner.

Have you recently had a major change, like moving or a new person in your life? The dog could be upset or confused. Not sure how to train... my dog peed on my living room furniture when I had a boyfriend she did not care for. We didn't date for very long and she quit peeing on my chair.

Answer 4

Many times dogs do this because they are angry with you. They will either poop on the bed itself, or poop on your pillow. I had an Irish Setter that would poop on my pillow every time I left for work. I really lost the urge to sleep in my bed any more. Good luck with this.

Answer 5

Making sure the dog empties his bowels before spending any lengthy time in your bed should help. Reinforcing that "emptying" behavior with a treat and lots of praises would help too.

Answer 6

My dog does that every now and then. You just have to train them by putting their faces near it and yelling."WHAT IS THIS" then they eventually get the idea and stop poopin on your bed and start poopin on the floor. After going through this various amounts of times then you will eventaully will have a trained dog or a person who is tired of pickin up poop.

Answer 7

HELLO!!!! Put the animal outside and don't roll over on the stuff!

It may be that it smells something that makes it believe that's the spot. Try totally cleaning everything on your bed (sheets, pillows, mattress, blankets, everything) and you should be able to find something in the pet store that would help prevent that.

Answer 8

For him to poop in such and open and obvious place like that he could be trying to tell you that there is something he doesn't like.

Could be a lot of things, food, water, cleanlyness, odor, noise, Lonelyness. I would pay attention to his actions really carefully. Every now and then my pets do that and it's their way of telling me they don't like something.

Answer 9

Try correcting him for it and do not allow him in the bed or the room. Crate him when you can not supervise.

Answer 10

is there any way that he can get out of your room? Every time he crys or goes to the door that means she wants to poddy
