    Dog pooping in the house after a move how do I correct
    We have moved to a new house and we have a chocolate Lab. He is almost two years old.He can be by himself all day with no problems. We let him outside every chance we get and when he indicates he wants to go. We have gotten home the last two days, let him outside and he waits till he is in the house and we are not looking and poops in the same spot in the house. We have been in this new house for over a month and he just started doing this. Does anyone have any ideas how to correct this behavior? Or why he may be doing this?

    A move can be upsetting to a dog who has had a routine. His world has changed. So it could he is upset and needs time to get used to his new space. Make sure he goes outside before you let him in. Walk him until he does his business. If he had a favorite spot before he will need to get used to a new spot. Also last owners could have had a pet and you will need to clean the spot well so there is no lingering odor.
