My dog can be outside for hours and pee and poop in the house? What's up with that..
He is a zu about 1yr 8 months - given to us FREE as owners were moving and couldn't take him... hmmm.. sound fishy now that I think about it...

Pee's by the cat's litter box (I have placed some newspaper down) with the suggestion of previous owners and that is what they have done - if dog couldn't make it outside..

and now seems to poop near or by the washroom.. . previously it was no random spot... but now seems to be certain areas of the house..


I clean and clean - wash and rewash the floors with vinegar and water, cleaning solution as he has a good sniffer!!

Please advise as we might have to find him a new home? But our daughter 3 1/2 loves him..

Lots of male dogs, especially at that particular age, are notorious for marking their territory. Perhaps neutering him would fix the situation.

Update: we neutered him about 1.5 weeks ago...
