Question
I have a female American bull dog that is 1 year 7 months old, that is great and a male American bull dog that is 11 months that poops every night. How do I get him to stop pooping in the house at night. Neither dog a is fixed. This is the only problem I have with him.

Answer
Hi Trent,

The first thing you should do is to neuter them.  Some dogs mark by pooping where most pee.  

The other solution would be to crate him at night.  You would want a nice large open wire crate and he should be kept in there (with water) when you can not be there to supervise.   The purpose of the crate is to eliminate the opportunity for accidents and he will get used to only going outside.  If you continue this for a few months, then you should try letting him sleep out of the crate again at night.  By only letting him go outside, it helps them understand the correct place to go.
