Adult Dog Pooping in the House
We have had 2 6 year old female Pikapoo dogs for 2 years now. They were not house trained when we got them, but after working with them we finally got them crate trained. They sleep in our bedroom on the floor on pillows and they like cuddling with my clothes. This week I have woken up to poop on the carpet two nights in a row. My husband had not been hitting them with the newspaper when they did it. We started caging both of them at night since we did not know who was doing it although we have our suspicions. I woke up the morning after we started to cage them and found poop in the cage. The next morning the same thing happened in their cage, but this time they tried covering the poop with their blankets. This time my husband spanked both of them and put them in the garage in their cage without their blankets because they were covered in poop. This morning, I let them out when I woke up and left them out for a while and brought them back inside and Spaz pooped in the house maybe an hour later. Later in the day we put them outside again and caged them because we left the house. My dad let them out 2 times when he came home and the dogs still pooped in 3 different places in the house while my dad was home. I am pregnant and my husband is at his wits end. He is to the point where he wants to give them aways. Please help!

Thank you for your respons. We had them neutered shortly after we got them about 2 years ago. They both get their medications monthly. What do we do when they have accidents in the house? Do we just pick it up and ignore their behavior?
