Question
i have 5yr old boston terrier who we found last year.  i thought i had him on a regular schedule but i guess not because here and there i've been finding him pooping and urinating every where in my house.  i take him out regularly but he still seems to use it in the house.  help!!!  i don't know what else to do.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but I was not home last evening to get your question.

I am a **huge** advocate of using a crate when you are not home.  Very few dogs have major problems staying in crates, and most end up liking their crates and using it to hang out in when they don't have to.

One of the other things to make sure to do is to take him out about 5-15 minutes after every meal.  They tend to reliably poop soon after eating.

Am I reading your question wrong, and he's doing this when you are home ??  Please let me know if that's the case.
