She's 10yo this year, is a wonderful family dog (unspayed Staffie, if that makes a difference). Over the last couple of months, she has started pooing in the house She hasn't done it since her puppy days.
It has triggers (storms, fireworks); it's just now that it's made her poo, rather than 'just' causing distress. It is coupled with extreme panting whenever I come home (not relating to poo) that she's never done before. She's an awesome dog and I'm upset by this
The thing is, I have a 5yo and and almost 2yo and I am finding it very difficult indeed to manage the problem. In that I'm exhausted disinfecting my house after she has shat everywhere and walked it about (again).
I let her out before we go out. She has ample opportunity to 'go'. Is this a common problem? What can I do to help her (and my sanity?)
