We just bought a house and tomorrow we will have been here for 2 weeks. We knew we were going to put another fence up here. we had a 4' chainlink fence at the old place but we have to get higher for here because everyonce in awhile Abbie would climb over (only if she saw me walking through the yard) and Dozer took to jumping straight over it. There it wasn't a huge deal because we didn't live on a main road like we do now.
We had planned on taking a while to get the fence up and just walking the dogs. That isn't working. Brady will not potty while on a leash so we were tying him and I was walking Abbie on a leash while he was out. It took Abbie awhile to start pooping while on a leash but I thought she was getting the hang of it. Fast forward to the other night, we were outside pacing back and forth to get Abbie to poop and a pickup truck with an air horn on it blew its horn at our neighbor's house. That was enough for Abbie to figure she wasn't pooping outside anymore. They are having a hard time with pottying on a leash because they never had to before, they both grew up with a fence and their whole life, walks were recreational, not meant to be poop producing.
Abbie has resorted to pooping in the dog room and then eating it. Obviously I know she is doing it but I can't get her to poop outside on the leash and she has to poop. I try to catch her before she eats it but I usually find out she ate it because she walks up to me licking her lips and upon further inspection, I smell it. I feel so bad that she is doing this but I don't know how to stop it. When she was a puppy, she ate her poop too but we ended that with giving her pineapple chunks. I don't know why she thinks she needs to eat it to cover it up, she was never even been scolded for pooping in the house. This has never been an issue until now.
Any ideas on how to get her to stop eating her poop? Obviously I want her to quit pooping in the house but I am mostly concerned for her well being.
The poor girl is laying here at my feet and everytime she burps, I smell poop. I am not mad at her but worried about her. I don't want to psychologically hurt my baby girl. Stupid trucks!
I have called the local Home Depot to see if the have everything to get the fence put up but of course they don't have enough of the posts which is what I figured since the store is so small. We don't have the extra money to put up the fence right now with just buying this house and furnishing it but I am going to whip out a credit card. I just need to wait for the store to get the posts in. In the meantime, I need my Bug to quit eating her poop. Any ideas?
