I have a 2 year old rescue dog that we have had for about 7 months now. She has always been fine and trained to go outside and do her business when told to be clean. When we go to work, etc. and she is left on her own she has access to the back garden. In the past week every time I have returned from work she has started to poo just behind the front door and in hallways. Does anyone know why this could be and how to prevent it? Thanks.

I'd love to know if you receive a helpful answer to your question, as I have a similar question! 15-month-old rescue dog I've had for 5 months now. Two nights in a row I've found poop inside when I woke up. It's about as far from our normal "living space" as she could do it, which I appreciate. And on the tile floor (not carpet), which I appreciate! She's never had a way to "tell" me she needed to go, but she's always been fine. My only guess on this is that I recently gave her a butcher's bone, and perhaps it's been too rich? I'll definitely not do that again. But still, I worry that she's decided she can always go in this spot and not tell me she has to go out. I'd love to know if you've received any good ideas or seen improvement. Or if you know how to train a dog to "signal" you? Thanks.
