To be gross - what is the shit like? Normal, runny etc

How is the dog in itself?

Crate training.

Sorry, sorry, I couldn't resist. If it's normal poo, maybe set an alarm and take him out for a poo break in the night. then after a few nights set the time back in half hour increments until he learns to hold on.

Have you changed his feeding / walking regime at all ?

What time is his last meal?

What time is his last toilet at night?

Mine has breakfast at 8.00 a.m & dinner at 5.00 p.m , last toilet trip in garden is 10pm.

3 mornings in a row?

Have you started giving a new dog food?

What did he have Monday/tuesday?

If mine was given human food or sneaks the cat food into his belly, he would get runny poos. Could this have happened?

And mine. Tried crate training (successfully used with previous dogs) but this one can't bear it and screams and screams. Not fair to inflict that on the neighbours so I'm resigned to toughing it out and hoping he grows out of it.

can't do crate as he hated it. no change to diet but he does have a penchant for muddy puddles. poos are medium to soft! he has prescription pup food and nothing else ( unless he steals ir). i will set alarm and pre-emp it to orrow,
