I have an English Bulldog that is 14 months old. My wife works days and I work nights so she takes her out before she goes to bed at 10pm. I get home at 2am and take her out again and then she gets up at 5am to get ready for work and takes her out. I get up at 11am and take her out again and before I leave for work again at 2pm. She gets home at 6pm and takes her out again.
She feeds her when she gets up, I feed her when I get up, and then she feeds her again when she gets off work and we always take her out 30 minutes after she eats. Then she doesn't get water after 7-8pm.
The vet told us she needs a special digestive food so we get her that and she has a wire crate with a divider that to make the area smaller since I have read that they won't poop in their cage like that.
We make sure she has pooped before putting her back in the crate.
She poops during the times my wife goes to bed to when I get home and when my wife leaves to when I get up. Yes I know that sounds strange but I have asked my wife are you making sure she is actually out there pooping and not just eating snow.
So she will still poop in the wire crate and it will either roll outside or she will just lay on it.
I am trying to think what else I have tried.
We have never hit her but when we notice the poop in the cage she knows she has done something wrong and gets low and starts to roll over.
Please help! This is starting to get annoying.
