We have two very large dogs (85kgs between them). They have a free reign over most of our downstairs and a large yard outside. They get walked every day, only once at the moment but it is a good walk where they are off the lead for all of it roaming around fields. Today we were out for an hour and a half but it is generally about 45 minutes. They have a room which they sleep in at night. This is a connecting room between the house and the garage, currently with a bare concrete floor. For the last two weeks we have been coming downstairs to find a dog poo awaiting us. We are not sure which dog it is but one is very lazy and really hates to go out last thing at night. Even if we chuck him out he just waits by the door. This has never happened before and I don't know why he has suddenly deemed it acceptable to poo in the house (they are 5 and 3 and it's the elder of the two who we think it might be). They only do it in their room, even though the hallway is free to them too. Could it be that he has decided that the bare concrete is outside? There have been no significant changes and their routine is pretty much the same as it has always been. How do we get it to stop?
Thanks
