Recently I have been trying to train my mini schnauzer to do his business on command. Which means I have putting him in the crate for an hour every time he doesnt. Like an hour ago I took him to do his business and he did and there was blood that came out too...he seems okay he ate and drank water when i brought him in, then hes just been laying on his bed...not wanting to play like he usually does when you bring him in....should i take him to the vet?

blood in the stool is not normal; it always means that something is wrong.
When the blood is bright red and on the surface of the stool, there is a good chance that something sharp, like a bit of bone, scraped the lining of the large intestine and made it bleed. The bleeding may continue for a day or two, but it probably won't last much longer. Even small scrapes can cause a lot of bleeding, so don't be surprised when the stools appear quite red.
Blood in the stool may also be a sign of parasites, like whipworms, which are irritating the intestine wall.
When the blood looks dark, dry, or tarry and is mixed with the stool, there may be a problem in the small intestine. Some viral infections can temporarily irritate the walls of the small intestine and make it bleed. Blood in the stool can also be a sign of colitis, an inflammation of the large intestine.
Finally, bleeding may be caused by an infection of the anal sacs -- two sacs on either side of the anus that contain a strong liquid that pets use to mark their territory. These sacs normally empty whenever your pet has a bowel movement. When the sacs are infected, however, they don't empty the way they should, causing them to swell. Having a bowel movement can irritate the area, causing blood to flow.
See Your Vet If...
* The surface of your pet's stool has spots or smears of blood
* His stool is dark and tarry-looking
* Pushing on your pet's belly causes her pain
* Your dog or cat hasn't eaten for 24 hours or more
* Her abdomen appears bloated
* She has eaten rodent poison, antifreeze, houseplants, or other harmful substances
* Your pet has been vomiting for more than a day or is vomiting blood
* There are worms or other parasites in the stool
* She has had diarrhea for 24 hours or more
* There is blood in the stool or it looks dark and tarry
* She is scooting across the floor, or the anal area looks swollen
* Your pet has gained or lost substantial amounts of weight
* She is having side effects from medication, like appetite loss or vomiting
* There are growths in the anal area
* There is a bulge in her throat
* She is drooling much more than usual
* Your pet vomits shortly after eating

Take him to the vet immediately. This could be serious.
And you're training him all wrong. You can't train a dog to do his business on command. Can you go on command? That's ridiculous. When he has an accident, scoop the poop or mop up the urine with clean newspaper, then put the paper on the floor and show it to him. Gradually move it toward the back door, then outside. That's all I've ever had to do with my dogs.
But get him to the vet.

I really don't think putting him in the crate for an hour is helping. He most likely does not know why he is in there. You should be patient and let him do his business when he has to,not when u say so.-and then praise him. Try putting a little (teaspoon)veg oil in his food. He may be straining trying to do his business.

have you ever been feeding her "human beings" nutrition? assorted what we consume is poisonous to canines. The throwing up probable would not have something to do with the limping or hardship getting up. which could be arthritis or a hip displacement. I also have a canine it is 8 years old and he or she had an identical concern with throwing up and my vet gave her tablets that made a coating for her abdomen that I had to dissolve and provide her with a syringe. It took a pair of days yet she have been given extra powerful. there are such assorted issues which could be incorrect so she relatively needs to work out a vet. If she has thrown up that plenty she desires fluids from the vet because of the fact she would be in a position to be dehydrated. yet you are able to desire to appreciate that only like us canines get ill and additionally you mustn't think of the worst while it occurs, only provide her the best care you are able to. i wish your canine gets extra powerful quickly.
