I have a 4 month old springer spaniel Had her since she was 8 weeks, She is starting to poo in her crate during the night and has done it during the day I don't know what to do now!! I have a 15 month old baby and its not healthy if I have to keep cleaning poo up PLEASE HELP!! :mad:

4 months old is still a baby. Training a dog is really training yourself to the dogs needs. How much time does she spend in the crate? You do know that a Springer is a working dog and as such has lots of energy that needs to be worked off? Get her outside more offen. Be sure that she has an opportunity to go out and do her business just before bed time. She will learn eventually to do it then.

Hi thanks for getting bk to me, She has lots of walks is only in her crate at bedtime and when we are eating our dinners, I just don't understand why she's started to do this she never used to!! She goes out just before we go to bed which is about 11.00pm :confused:
