i know that hopeless feeling all too well. Roxy would poop outside, we'd crate her for the night and then in the morning....about 5 hours later. poop everywhere. and when she sleeps in the bed with us....she sleeps straight through the night, about 8-9 hours worth. so i know she can hold it...

i just joined BW to ask about the very same problem you are having. we are in the same boat and there doesn't seem to be many of us at all. i've tried everything with my 6 mos old female. for the first 2 weeks we had her it was every morning like clock work and that was with us waking up every...

thank you for your warm greeting. and as far as the hurricane....it's one of the prices you pay i guess to live in this beautiful area. but i appreciate your concern

well once i get the hang of this forum i will put some pictures up of my furry trick or treaters. i'm glad you got a kick out of my Roxy though.

thnx. i got her and my poodles costumes from petsmart. she's a frog and my little ones are a pumpkin and a cow. they looked so goofy

my first thought and still my strongest intuition is something paranormal. being a paramedic i've seen all types of seizures, in humans of course, but i would imagine no matter who or what is seizing the physical effects on the body would be similar. it doesn't sound like a seizure to me...

thank you to everyone. this community seems really awesome. Roxy and I appreciate it very much!

i've tried small crates and huge crates. i've tried timing her feedings and make sure she poops before we put her up. and like i said, for a month now she has been fine. two messes in the crate but she didn't touch it. yesterday morning was the first time in a while. i'm just afraid this is...

when she was a baby i had the baby kong and now she has a huge one. she's not interested in anything really once she's in her crate. she seems very freaked out sometimes by it. and she is never alone. my other 2 dogs are crated right next to her

thank you tesster. I am so exhausted tryin to wrap my brain around what is going on in her head. and her poop may be normal coming out but....when she finger paints with poo.....at that point, it's just poop plops, and splatters, smears, and chips! ( i know that's gross but i have much...

I have never left Roxy out in the house unsupervised to see if she would be destructive but my guess is....she probably would. I kind of think she does suffer from SA

i do walk Roxy alot and because I'm a paramedic in a hospital, my schedule is forever changing but my husband's is not. so she pretty much has a regular routine. she is never in the crate for more than 6 hours and that is only about 1-2 days during the week and then about 5-6 hours at night...

thank you all!!!

I have never heard of a dog doing what she does either. and I bought her from a breeder where she was in a very large kennel with her litter mates and mother or left in a fenced in yard, when she got older, with all of his other dogs. I don't know what else to do

I have a 6 month old boxer female and 2 toy poodles that are 14 years old and 6 years old. i crate trained both of my poodles with no problem but my boxer pup Roxy has been a bear. She poops in her crate and then tramples through it. And not only does she walk all through it, then it's spreads...
