To limit my dog's toys to one at a time?

[AlexTurnersMrs]

About two months ago I got put on quetiapine- I don't know if it's connected or not but after a lifelong state of not being at all houseproud, I'm suddenly obsessed with my house being spotless.

I have a dog, a little Frenchie who I love to bits but he has toys scattered all over the house. He plays with them for 2 minutes and then discards them in various locations so we have ropes, balls, stuffed toys, bones etc all over. Sometimes he'll literally pick one up, carry it to the living room and drop it there with no intentions of playing with it! I'm finding it frustrating and messy! WIBU to let him have one toy out at a time? (And swap them throughout the week)?

She's 1 so still very Young's she also doesn't bark to be let out so if she wakes in the night I don't know. She pees on the mat if the door is closed when it's either night time or no one is home. I'd rather have a mat down. It's not used every night. She knows the difference between the mat and the rest of the house/flooring. Which is why if she does need to go and the door isn't open - she goes on the mat.

We have a dog walker thank you - yes she is walked. However she doesn't like to go to the toilet on walks - she will go for a wee has never pooed. As humans we have almost constant access to the toilet. I don't force my dog to hold in her pee if she needs to go she can.
My dog is very loved and very well looked after.
Thanks for you /concern/.
Love how you all are quick to be cruel yet not one of you offered any tips??
She's fine. She's happy. Fuck off

The advice is to take her out at night, even if that means you set an alarm and pre-empt her needing to toilet in the house.

Nobody likes doing it, or getting up at 5am to let them out for a wee but it's part of owning a dog. Mine had me up at 2am this morning to go for a poo! Annoying and tiring but that's life with a young dog.

She doesn't bark - and doesn't always need a wee in the night. As I have said. So it's not as though anyone took In what I said and responded. Just assumed they knew best and knew my dog. The pad is dry most of the time. I'd rather have a pad than a potential puddle

Would you do this to a child? No! So don't do it to your poor dog. I understand your house proud but if you like your skirting boards I'd give him more than one toy or your house may be next 😂😂

Well you have been given advice. Your dog needs to be allowed in the garden regularly enough that they don't need to pee in the house. That's grim.

She might not always need a wee but you still need to take her just in case! Like when you toilet train a puppy - you take them out every hour. Even if they don't need to go, they eventually learn to associate outside with going to the toilet and don't want to pee in the house.

You might not want to get up in the night but training her to pee inside (on a pad, but still inside) is pretty grim and not fair on the dog either. If she starts using it during the day what are you going to do? Just accept that your dog pees or poos inside now?

My dog has a condition that flares up from time to time and can mean she needs to poo throughout the night. She's never ever had an accident in the house, she asks to go out and I'm happy to be woken to let her out, but she's been properly house trained so pooing in the house is not something she's likely to do.

I certainly wouldn't want her pooing in the house, mat or no mat.
