3 weeks ago we adopted an almost 2 year old intact male poodle X. He weighs 15 lbs. He has since been neutered and has become close with several family members. He came from a house with 8 dogs and I was told he was house trained. In the past 3 weeks, he has pooped in the house at night or when we are away almost every time. I understand that he is going through a transition period with a new home etc. I would like to know how to best handle this situation. He goes outside to pee and poo during the day and gets daily walks as well as periods of play. We do have another small dog and they get along well. At night they have the run of the house if they want but the new dog was used to sleeping on the bed and I do not allow that. Both dogs sleep on a bed just outside our bedroom door that has a gate in front of it. He does acknowledge that the humans are the boss and I do take away the food after he has dinner around 5 pm. What is the best way to handle this situation?
