My dog will poop when I take her out, not my boyfriend. Even though he is home with her all day, she waits for me all day to do it! How to break this?
It's possible that it may be an issue of timing - many dogs are very regular in their bathroom habits, and she may prefer to do her business in the evening. If you think that she really does have a preference (some dogs do!), then if your boyfriend is willing he can try taking her on a long walk around the time she usually likes to poop. When she finally goes (which she very likely will, if he walks her long enough), he should praise and reward her with a treat. Have him do this for the next few nights if possible. Once she is comfortable pottying with him as well as you, it shouldn't matter who takes her out :)

what can i do to stop my dog from eating his own poop? is there any pill i can give him to avoid him eating it? and lastly should i be concerned about this?
Hi there. Many dogs do eat poop, including their own - we humans find it to be a gross habit, but it isn't normally dangerous for the dog. The easiest way to prevent this is to simply pick up the poop after he has a bowel movement, before Pluto has a chance to eat it. There are commercial products such as For-Bid, which are oral supplements you can give your pup to try and discourage them from eating their poop, but I have never found any of them to be very effective.

My dog usually does good pooping outside, but recently has been pooping in and out of the house. The last time that happened, she had inner parasites. We took a poop sample to the vet for testing, and it came out negitive. She also goes to a daycare
It's possible she is getting mixed signals from daycare but it's impossible to say for sure. I recommend crating her when you are not directly watching her and at night. This may help to remind her about her housebreaking. You may also want to walk her more often and keep her feeding on a schedule. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Why does my dog only poop around us even if she’s been outside for a while. If we bring her in she leaves a trail of poop all the way inside. And if she’s already outside, and we go outside she poops as soon as she sees us. But always poops right nex
Since Molly cannot talk, we will never know. Dogs are individuals and can be quirky just like humans. I recommend to go outside with her every time she potties to make sure that she uses the bathroom appropriately and so you don’t have a mess to clean up. If the stool appears abnormal or she appears to have problems with incontinence, I recommend to have Molly examined by her veterinarian. Best of luck.

My puppy is 6 and a half months old she's been potty trained for almost 2 month and hasn't had a accident in a long time. We've been home all summer and I recently started back in school so mows she's home with only my mom. She started pooping and pe
Hi and thanks for using Boop by Petco! It sounds like Dolly needs to adjust to the new schedule and new people caring for her. Go back to the basics and retrain her to the new schedule. Also, make it consistent. The same person lets her out every morning and feeds her at the same time everyday (even weekends). Go back to letting her out every couple of hours- it is easier to prevent an accident than to fix it. Lots of praise when she goes outside to potty. I would keep her in a kennel when she's not being watched. She should adjust more quickly this time around. Good luck and kisses to Dolly!
