My husband and I adopted a French Bulldog, Roxie, a year ago. She is house trained, but still poops in her crate at night. Sometimes she will go NEARLY week or so without doing it and then we will have several weeks of poop every single morning waiting for us. It's getting very frustrating, and with a child on the way, I can't imagine a routine with this every morning.
I realize dogs of all ages have accidents, but I'm starting to think that she is being stubborn. She know's what she is doing is wrong because she will sit at the door with this guilty posture and look on her face....If we are both at work during the day, she can make it the whole work day (usually 7-8 hours) without an accident. I don't think age is a concern--as she clearly has control--or that there is anything medically wrong. And I am a morning person, so it's not like she's in there for more than 8 hours a night.
Like I said, I'm okay with the occasional accident. I know that there are things that can upset a dogs stomach and cause occasional bugs or upset digestion--but everything is normal looking. We've tried different food and different eating schedules. I'm looking for suggestions to try and reduce the EXTREME frequency of this happening. Please let me know if anyone here has gone through something similar and what your suggestions may be!
Thanks in advance!
