I have a 4yr old daschund and he poops almost 4-5 times a day after being walked and poops outside?

Question

We take him out before we leave i walk him everyday and only feed him once. But after we leave and return home after a couple hours we fine that he had gone to the bathroom 3-4 times since we left. we are getting so frustrated because nothing were doing is working. We reward him when he poops outside and he is fine when i am with him all day but the second we leave even for a minute he'll poop 3-4 times. Does any one have any suggestions ???? Please help!!!!!

We have crated him he still does it and yes he goes when we leave even after we've walked him and went outside

Answer 1

So are you saying he poops in the house while you are away? Simple fix. Leave him in a crate while you are away. Then let him out to poop when you get home.

Answer 2

I tried the crate thing, she just went in there.Mine has separation anxiety and was abused by previous owners. It is hard to deal with doxies anyway since they have a mind of there own but you just have to love them. What I did is give her a stuffed kong to her when I left and only when I left. I also had to put her in the garage and backyard (fenced) when I am gone. Tried to block her in the kitchen and bathroom but she did quite a bit of damage. When I put her out I just put her out, no sweet talk, baby talk or good byes, and hand her her kong. She is quite happy with that. I try very hard not to be gone long, go home straight after work etc.. I also try to take her as many places as I can, I don't leave her in the car, there are some stores her that allow dogs in. We do go for lots of walks as you do too.When I come home I only get her from outside when she is calm not squealing. Another thing that might help is a friend, can you get another dog forher to have while your gone? I know that sounds silly but I have seen that work too. Good luck and hope all works out for you guys! A good quality dog food causes less waste, not sure what you are feeding but sometimes that may help.

Answer 3

He has separation anxiety. Think about taking him to a doggy day care for a while until he realizes it's okay for you to be gone. Or get him a friend to play with during the day while you're gone.
