I bought my bundle of pooping joy from Animart about 2 1/2 months ago. Hes 7 months old and wants to poop when and where ever he feels like it. I tried putting him in the kennel he whinned all day and the neighbors were pissed(we live in a upper appt) I don't know what to do I let him out before I leave,lunch,after work,before bed and 20 times in between. What do I DO?

When do you feed him?

After work round 330 pm

Well, there goes my theory of not feeding him first thing in the AM!

Maybe he's just so young he doesn't have full "control" yet and needs to poop more than one time a day.

And some dogs ALWAYS - until they die - "poop" more than once a day. Certainly not easy if you work - but there are worse things in life (I guess).

It's a Shih Tzu thing too. They have difficulty with that poo thing. I'm not certain that our little guy has fully grown out of that yet. He still from time to time has issues, he's definitely earned the name... "SHiht"zu
