How do I keep Ruger from pooping inside? I take him out every 3 hours, and 9 times out of 10 he'll go pee, And then I'll take him for a walk around the property, and he won't poop, but I take him inside and he'll walk around for maybe 15 minutes and
Designate an area outside for Ruger to use for elimination. Take him there when he needs to go and wait. No walking, but you can circle the area. Once Ruger begins to go, immediately use a cue such as "Do your business" or "Go potty". When he is done, offer praise and a small reward. If he urinates first, stand and wait until he defecates. Don't forget to say the phrase when he does this also. He can go on a short walk after he does both. You can use a spray attractant to keep him interested in the one area. Be firm, patient and consistent. When he is inside, do not leave him unsupervised as long as he is still soiling the house. Place him in a crate or on a leash attached to your hip so you can watch for cues that he needs to go out. Use an enzymatic cleaner such as Nature's Miracle to thoroughly clean any soiled areas.

okay. im dog sitting and the dog is aggressive when anyone goes near his butt and he has a lump of poop stuck to his fur
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! You have a few options here. You could get a muzzle to avoid getting bit. You could consider bathing him which will make the lump of feces more manageable when is wet. Also, you could consider using an e-collar so that it is difficult for him to get around you to potentially bite. Good luck!

I take Dory out at least twice to poop I have a newborn so I can't take her out as much as I want to that goes for my 4yr old chorkie also I'm very frustrated since even though I take them out they still "go" in my apartment Ive tried to put training
Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. If the puppy pads do not work, I would recommend a product called Fresh Patch, which you can order online. I have found that potty training is much more successful with this product. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

I had to change my songs food due to chicken allergy and now he is eating his poop. I went from Victor's to Zignature. Wha
I would be surprised if the food change is to blame - most of the time eating feces is a behavioral issue. There are numerous supplements that are supposed to discourage this behavior - I put them in the ‘can’t hurt, might help’ category. The best thing to discourage this behavior is to pick poop up immediately.

So Luna was wearing a plastic cone and she got feces on it. I have another cone so she's wearing that one now. Anyway I washed it twice with soap, and used rubbing alcohol to disinfect but it still smells pretty bad. How can I get it clean?
If you use a solution of white vinegar, baking soda and water and soak the e-collar in the solution for a few hours, it should take the smell away. Use even portions of white vinegar and water and add in a few table spoons of baking soda. I hope this helps!
