This dig is pissing me off. We take her for walks and then she waits to go in the house. The smaller dog is doing fine in the cold. My wife says the dog doesn't like the cold wind on its butt.

May not be the temperature. I mean if the dog is already outside and won't crap......anyway, good luck. Hope the dog adjusts soon..

Re: Moving a dog to a cold climate
 

Not in a cold climate, but when my mother got a dog, she refused to go outside for a while. Wouldn't do it, would just bark and wait to go inside. Tried staying out with her for like 2 hours, walking around, nothing.

Neighbor solved problem by leaving dog outside tied to tree. Barked for hours, eventually realized it's gotta go, and went.

Try that.

I am always surprised folks don't discipline their dogs as harsh as they would discipline their kids -

if he poops in the house, rub his nose in it and boot his ass outside - eventually he'll get the hint - problem solved - they learn to avoid negative behavior fast. -

Studies have shown that dogs don't associate the negative attention with the bad behavior unless you catch them in the act. So you have to get him while he's pooping or peeing otherwise he's just going to be confused as to why you're yelling at him.

Solution: Run a small electric current through the floor of the house. As soon as he starts peeing in the house ZAP!

(Side note: you will have to wear shoes everywhere and get him rubber paw booties)

I recently moved to Colorado. We have two dogs and one is doing great. The other won't use the bathroom when it is cold out and this is starting to become a real problem. Does anyone have experience with a healthy dog the suddenly wants to poop in the house?

Next time get a real dog not a prissy Paris Hilton wannabe dog.
