1 yr old boston terrier won't stop going in the house!

by Daniel
(Ohio)

I've trained my boston NOT to go in my apartment since he was very young, 13 weeks, and he didn't for a long time, and the past few months he's starting doing it. He's a year old now and he won't quit! he pooped on clothes two days in a row, peed on our fouton 3 times, peep on the bed, and our clean clothes right out of the dryer. I'm getting really frustrated with this because its ruining our apartment. Not only this, but causing tension between my fiancee and I. ANY help would be very much appreciated, I don't really know what else to do now!

Potty Training

Has something changed in the dog's life? Perhaps you have moved or added a new member of the family? Sounds like to me that he is "making a statement". You probably need to start the training over again. Put him in his crate until you have time to watch him closely. As soon as he gets out of the crate he needs to go outside to "go potty". Make sure he does go potty then go back in the house and watch him. You have to catch him in the act before you can teach him NOT to do it. Also, make sure he knows that you are the "top dog" and not him. In fact, he needs to feel that he is last in line. Feed him last, he goes out the door last, etc.

Read as much as you can about potty training and try what you think will work for you.
