    Puppies peeing and pooping the house
    Help!

    I have two dogs who have both been potty trained for years.

    One of them recently sliced her pad on her paw open and has to plastic around her bandage when going outside. She has been refusing to go potty when out there.

    This morning, there was a lovely present of poop and a lake of pee in our living room. There was so much pee that it really made me wonder if the second healthy dog had added to it.

    My theory was proven right tonight. When we left for a half an hour in the same location as this morning there were TWO separate piles of poo left as presents for us.

    We tried cleaning it with enzyme spray and even white vinegar.

    So here is my question: Help! First, how do I help my poor injured puppy to feel safe going outside again? Second, what do I do about my second dog who has suddenly decided to poop and pee in the house with her? How do a punish them? Can I? What is my best course of action?

    Don't punish them unless you catch them in the act. They won't understand why they are getting scolded.

    Purchase a crate and put them in it.

    For the dog that is injured.. don't let her out of your site. If you cannot watch her, than she should be placed in a crate.

    Her peeing in the house in vast amounts is probably because she doesn't potty all day long.

    I really recommend a crate. They are very helpful in situations like this. It keeps them good and it keeps your house mess free.
