    How do I get my poodle pup to stop...
    Pooping in her bed?

    He is crate trained but I put her in a restricted area during the day. She won't lay in her bed but she does poop in it :confused:.

    How do I get her to lay in the bed w/o pooping in it?

    Leave her in the crate during the day. Leave it some toys. Perhaps a Kong filled with peanut butter. Don't leave
    Anything in the crate the dog might chew up. It will do fine without even any
    Bedding. You will come home to a safe dog and a house you can enjoy.

    The "shut the puppy in a safe room" is a fallacy. Very few houses even have a
    Safe room. How many of us have a room with a hard surfaced floor and nothing
    Else? Most rooms have electrical cords to chew if nothing else. In addition
    To destroying anything a bored puppy finds to chew, it may choke or have
    Intestinal blockage from the pieces. I had a friend that left her dog in a
    "safe" room. It ate a hole in the floor covering. The safe rooms fail to
    Give the dog the comfort of the enclosed space their instinct requires. Nor
    Do they restrict activity extending the time the dog can go without relieving
    Itself.

    Thanks labman :)

    So when she gets older she won't poop in the bed?
