Hello,
I don't know if anybody can give me some advice please.
Our 8 month old cockapoo (girl) is as good as gold, a fab little dog and is very good at letting us know she needs to toilet, and even goes in her designated area in the garden!
However she seems to have got in the habit of messing in the kitchen at night.
She was fine when she was younger but now, most mornings we come down to mess in the kitchen, both wee and poo.
She knows she's done it because when we go down she looks shame faced and keeps her head down.
If we put newspaper down she would use it but we don't want to encourage her to go indoors.
We put her in the garden every night before bed when she has a wee.
We know she can go all night as she used to when she was younger.
She's on all natural wet food that her breeder started her on and we've kept her on it with no problems. She only gets healthy treats during the day while training and no tit bits at all.
Does anybody have any ideas how we can stop her doing this , or at least bark to let us know she wants to go out, which she does during the day.
Apart from it being annoying for us, we're going away soon so she'll be staying with friends, so we obvioulsy don't want her doing this.
Thank you from a very frustrated cockapoo owner!
