Dog poops on my new rug. How do I make him stop?
Hello, I have a 2 year old dog. I got him about three months ago, he's such a sweetheart. Once I got him he was really well behaved Lately, I don't know why but he's been pooping in the rug. We decided to throw the rug away; one because we didn't want it anymore and two because we thought some smell of the rug maybe attracted him to poop there. So we got a new leopard print rug about 5x8 and today when I got home it was pooped. Like I mean, I do watch him and take him outside almost every 4 hours but I don't want him to start pooping on the rug now. Also, he's been peeing everywhere, it's been weird because he wasn't doing that. And don't give be advice to punish him or hit him because I don't do that to animals, although many people handle problems like this like that, but I don't think it's right.
So, can you guys tell me what to do so he will stop pooping on the rug?

easy watch him after he eats and drinks keep him in you sight,whenever you see him squating down to poop or trying to pee say SHHH!! NO!!! and take him outside untill he goes there after hes done praise him and show him how happy you are that he pooped outside.

You can take a look at a sprig that makes the field unappealing in your puppy. They promote it at Wal-Mart. My mother swears by means of the stuff, however my puppy appeared unphased by means of it. Its bizarre that she best does it at the rug, lol, perhaps its the difference, ya recognise? Maybe it bothers her to have the rug in there and if she poops on it, she is aware of you can take the rug away..? Dogs are humorous like that. What approximately coaching pads for whilst you go away? Good good fortune!

first off if this is new and he has been good for so long
you need to have him examined by a vet as there could bbe an underlying health issue causing him not to be able to hold himslf
I would aslo suggest not allowing him full run of the house when he can not be watched
either confine to a room like kitchen or get a crate and start taking him out more often as if starting from teh start again
