Hi, we need some help.
We've recently adopted a 9 month old English Bull Terrier. We're a dog
family, and have never had problems in the past, and currently have two
other dogs in the home. Our new pup doesn't do too bad during the day
as we have a dog door and he can go out at any time... but the night is
another thing. We have crate trained him, so we started out keeping him
in the crate in our bedroom overnight. We've found that he'll crap in
his cage, without whimpering or making a sound, and then walk through it
making an absolute mess. We've tried leaving the crate door open, and
then he'll leave the crate, but crap on the livingroom floor. We don't
feed him after 5:00 PM, and we take him out around 11:00 PM....
Otherwise, he seems very well adjusted. We've just never had a dog who
didn't care about soiling his own bed area... Any ideas?
