ANSWER: Why ANYONE would deliberately -- DELIBERATELY -- acquire TWO ANIMALS and then FORCE them to remain isolated outdoors seven days a week is beyond me.  Dogs SUFFER in isolation, they REQUIRE the company of their human family.  The dog is desperately attempting to BELONG, he does not want to be in SOLITARY CONFINEMENT in your backyard.  You should be ASHAMED of yourself.  You are barking up the WRONG BEHAVIORIST. Address your question to someone who doesn't feel the need to TELL YOU THE TRUTH.  I am an advocate for the dog, not for abusive, neglectful owners. Next time, GET A STUFFED ANIMAL.

QUESTION: well your "help" is greatly appreciated I can see why your a professional in your field!!! but I will ask my question again in SIMPLY TERMS!!! Why after 10 months does my dog(which are animals that live out side(not "TOY DOGS")Outside being their natural habitat)now decided to come in to the house to pee it has never happened before.
I have over 1 acre of back yard. not a SOLITARY CONFINEMENT!!! how dare you say that you are a professional in your field, when you cant answer a question without verbally attacking my ability to look after my animals, quite clearly this is what you use when you don't know how to answer a question. I will invite you to come see how I look after my animals and you can then try and say that I am an abusive and neglectful owner.
Get over yourself and be professional.
Your abusive nature has be reported.

Answer
People who subject their animals to ABUSE AND NEGLECT get what THEY DESERVE when they ask me a question.  Your dog is suffering from psychological and emotional ABUSE.  You do NOT "look after" your animals; you subject them to isolation and emotional abandonment.  YOU ARE abusive AND neglectful.  Furthermore, to think that you can rehabilitate the damage you have caused by asking a question on the INTERNET suggests other things about you I would rather not mention.  Find yourself a bleeding heart who will lavish you with free advice and  attempt to compensate you for the guilt you must be feeling.  I am not that person.
