Question

Diesel
I have a 10 month old English Bulldog.  I am so lost on what to try with him anymore.  When we first got him we tried crate training and he urinated and deficated all over. so we tried letting him stay out in the living room then he constantly goes by the door when we are gone and potties. so we lost hope and now we are back to the crate but he is still doing it.  I dont understand because days off work he can go all day without going in the house but when we go to bed and to work we always come home to puddles and piles.  Please help..
Thanks

Answer
Hi Erica and Diesel.....  I wonder if he is very stressed when you are at work?  I think he may have some anxiety.  Doesn't sound like a urinary infection because it happens when you are only
" out of sight".

How about giving him something to ease his anxiety.
Valerian Time Release is very good for pets.
