Can you help us figure out why our shih tzu is pooping in the house?
We have a 3 yr old Maltese-Shihtzu mix. She has been trained to ring a bell when she needs to go outside. We see her go to the bathroom and give her a treat. Yet, she still secretly goes in the house. She knows it’s wrong because when she sees us go toward that room she walks away, slinkily. I finally gave up and decided to buy a potty tray with fake grass. I put that in the room she ‘likes’, and she just goes beside it on the carpet. The vet has ruled out any medical reasons. My husband wants to get rid of her because she’s destroying the house! I can’t do that because it’s our fault! It’s our responsibility to train/teach her. What are we doing wrong?!
