Why is my dog pooping in her crate now?
My dog is 11month old miny dauchound. Suppressingly we finally got her potty trained besides the fact she poops in her crate. She started doing this about month ago , we leave she poops, we wake up to poop, it's starting to be a big problem now because she steps and lays in it so everyday we have to give a bath (witch is not good.) I know she can hold it because we use to sleep with her. We always make sure she good potty before she goes in the crate. The crate is perfect size for her and we don't have anything in the crate as well cus she will hide it. We have noticed she is forcing the poop out of her, or not pooping enough before we put her in her crate. She use to wine if she had to go potty at night. Not anymore. I've heard her a couple times at night, she wakes up and just poops and doesn't wine at all , u hear her stomping around in the crate and then she goes back to sleep. I know she's forcing the poop out because it's solid but mucousy, I took it to the vet and they said that's nothing to be worryed about, she is completely heathy. I've done research and tried new training tatics but nothing is working so far, I know dogs don't do things on purpose but I don't know what else is going on.
Hi there! Having this problem with my own dog. Any updates?
Hey I have the exact same issue with my mini Dauchund who is also 11 months old , almost 12 months ! Did you ever find a cure for this ?!
I’m having the exact same issue I’m thinking he’s doing it just cos he doesn’t like going to bed. Did you manage to get sorted? My pup is 8 month old and just started doing it he never did it before since he was about 4 month
