I know this is probably a silly question, but we have all hard wood flooring except for a few rugs, and our 2 older dogs are housetrained, but if we leave them alone for too long they do have accidents. Then our puppy we are working on. I am just wondering, why dogs poop on the carpet. Out of all the hard floor we have, they choose our rugs. Why??? I am so tired of dragging them outside (the rugs of course.. lol) and cleaning them because they choose little rugs over regular floor.

Our dogs are good when we are not home. They are old, and just lay on their bed sleeping. And yes I am sure. So, no I don't need to crate them. They are only inside when it is cold or raining anyways, and we are usually home. As far as the pup, she does it at night while we are sleeping. She hops off the bed and goes into the other room.

They are almost always outside. We have a huge fenced in yard, and they have a doghouse. So we don't need a kennel.

Dogs are fussy about where they go and plain and simple they like the texture.

well i think the best idea should be to build them a kernel that is where they will poop and realize that their house is full of poop and next time when they want to poop they will go outside..dogs are not like humans they cannot remember all the time or maybe they are just lazy, just be strict with them whenever the poop on the carpet give them a hiding., but that would be cruelty to animals so get a kernel

Often it is a territory thing. Other times they are just confused, and they will go back to the same spot, and they think its ok if you haven't told them no. But because you can't be in two places at once, put a little bit of salt on the spot they went and that will take the smell away and they won't go back. But please, keep an eye on them ... and try to take them outside as often as possible, or teach them to let you know they need to go out with a bell or scratching. Good luck!

Dogs and puppies are only as good as their owners allow them to be. Perhaps you should get up thr the night and take the puppy out if it can't hold off till morning. Are you giving it water before you turn in for the night? Do you feed it late in the eveing food? You need to figure out what you are doing wrong.. it isn't the dogs fault. With a rug it is more like outside in the grass?

Once they start going in a spot, they usually return.
For the sake of your carpets, floors and your dog's training, you shouldn't leave them unsupervised. Try crating them, when you can't attend to them.

Because they are not housetrained...
and it's easier to maintain their balance on a rug rather than on a hardwood floor... traction to allow the tension needed to expel the waste.

Your puppy doesn't know any better. You need to crate him at night when you are sleeping to prevent the accidents. The longer you let it continue the harder it will be to properly housetrain him.

he probably went to the strip club to often and whenever he thinks about it, he gets sexually excited and poops and pees all over.
or maybe he is a prostitute....
