7 month, male, Boston goes outdoors and poops heavily three times a day but will still find a way to poop in the house. Different sites on the NET talk about a special training method for Boston Terriers that is guarunteed to stop your dog from craping in the house for $49.95. I'm at my witts end over this pooch. Has anyone any idea how to srop this pooping dog? And has anyone tried this special method that's being sold on the NET?:( :( :( :(

Wow, I thought I was the only one. No I haven't tried the online thing. Something tells me it doesn't work though. You have a realativly small dog, I have a 120lb Akita that does the same thing. You may have noticed a particular spot that he/she likes to do it in. If you have try blocking them out of it. That may help. You could also try using a heavily scented something to keep them out of the area. Something like a rag soaked in pacculli or cedar seems to work well with small dogs. Basically it seems to deter them from wanting to puit their scent there. It doesn't work with my dog, but I've known smaller dogs that it's worked wonders with. Good Luck!

Two things I would do/did:
1) Take him out more often and lots and lots of praise when he goes outside.
2) Keep him in sight indoors at all times so keep the doors closed to bedrooms if your in the living room, etc... when he starts or it looks like he's about to go, scold him, yell, clab your hands, startle him somehow so he will stop, go over pick him up, carry him outside, and let him finish and then lots of praise/reward again.
If your consistent, he'll figure it out! Good luck
