Why Did My 3 Year Old Cockapoo Poop On The New Carpet?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
The other day I noticed an odor in the basement. Today I realized why; apparently my otherwise well-trained dog (who never has accidents) pooped on the new shaggy carpet.
I can’t reprimand him for something already done, but I surely want to prevent it from happening again.
Any suggestions?

There could be any number of reasons the dog went on the carpet. He might have really had to go at some point when you were out, he might have had a bad fright (like during a thunderstorm), he might have been ill and just really really had to go. If it was just once, I wouldn’t worry. You can’t correct him now, and you have no real way of knowing what happened. If it happens again, you will have to try and find out the cause. And sadly, some well trained dogs just sort of have off days, lol.
