Okay so a friend/neighbor of mine has a 7-8 month old Lab mix who she has had since he was a puppy. He is STILL pooping and peeing inside the house!! She keeps him in a crate while she is at work, which is generally for about 7 hours. He doesn't go in the crate at all and he is taken out immediately when she comes home.
He will sometimes walk around by the door, so she knows he needs to go out but sometimes he will just decide to poop inside, without any warning. If he poops/pees and she catches him in the act, she will tell him to stop and immediately take him outside to finish.
It's not just at my friend's apartment, but he does it also at other peoples' apartments, as well.. including mine!
If she is home, he is taken out at least once every hour and it still keeps happening.
I suggested that she hang some bells from the door and try that route.
Any other advice/suggestions?
Thanks!
