pooping in the house and chewing

19 11:39:33

Question
My 2.5 year old American Bulldog will not stop pooping in the house. She usually does it at night time, when we are asleep.  We tried letting her out very late, like 1:00AM and there is still poop when we wake up at 7 or 8.  It seems like she is doing it just make up mad, it is always very runny poop, and it usually happens after she has been punished for chewing something up.  It is not restircted to only when she is punished it happens just randomly soemtimes too.  We found a good food that 95% of the time her poop is solid, but when she decides to poop in the house it is always runny.  

How can we get her to stop pooping and chewing things up.  PLEASE help I am very close to finding her a new home, We are soon moving into a new house and I don't want her ruining that house with her poop smell.

Answer
Hi Chris;
It being very runny does not sound normal.
If she had Diarrhea, she probably can't help it.
This sounds too unusual for it to be a spite thing.
You need to consult her Veterinarian so he/she can examine her, run tests, and find out what is causing htis.
As for the smell.
I use Simple Solution to clean up accidents.
It removs the smell so the animals can't smell it either.
