Hi all,
New here and new with dealing with French bulldogs , since December 2016. Gus is my male who is just over a year old. Right from the get go when he was 12 weeks old he hated his Kennel. he would poop in his bed which i thought to be very strange. I took him to the vet and they found him to be healthy. I decided to get rid of his kennel and just put up a pet gate in the hallway which worked great he had his own little space and he went two weeks without pooping on the floor. In the meantime I bell trained him to go outside. The longest he was ever left alone was 4 hours as I came home for lunch to let him out. A few months ago we moved and I understand how stressful that can be it took some time adjusting and figuring out where Gus' space was going to be. I found out that if Gus is left with too much space to do as he pleases he will pee and poop where ever he wants. So i bought a baby gate put that up in a hallway and he seemed great with it. I would come home and there would be no poops. Than all of a sudden every day or morning when we would get up there would be a poop on the floor. Doesn't matter if he had gone outside right before bed or right before I left for work. Even during the weekend when we are home all day when we put him in there at night he will poop on the floor. I am at a loss on how to fix this. I was thinking maybe he wants a smaller kennel to be put in, to have his own safe space, But my husband thinks that's mean and he would hate it.
I would really appreciate any input here!
Thanks in advance!!
