[NAGDU] New dog keeps pooping in my house!

[Tara Briggs]

Hi all! The subject line of this email pretty much  says it  all. I got home at the beginning of October with a new black lab named prudence from the seeing Eye. She is a good guide and does a good job of focusing when she has a harness on. I have two children ages four and two. She is sweet with my kids and seemed to enjoy them. However, she keeps taking poops in my house. I take her out four times a day. I try to stay out there for a few minutes until I’m sure she’s done. She takes a P right off really fast but she’s struggles to poop. She doesn’t seem constipated. But you just won’t poop. Several times now after I get her inside she goes and takes a poop. This past week I have been home with the flu and a nasty ear infection. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to work her. I have still tried to take her out four times a day. The other day she poops in the house and I took her out right after I found it. Again she acted  like she was done. She came back  inside and pooped in the same spot. I really got after her for that. And I was hoping that she got the message  that behavior is just not  going to  work. But today she pooped again. I feel very discouraged and I don’t know what to do.
