Our Current Challenge: Re-Housetraining Our Adult Dog

Plato is Having Too Many Pooping Accidents

This is tough.  Plato's "signals" when he needs to go out are subtle.  I think he was probably fully housetrained, but maybe things sort of broke down a bit when he was back at the pound.  He has never urinated in our house in the 2 months that he's been with us.  He had a few pooping accidents early on when he was sick, so I figured he just couldn't make it outside.  But it's also happened when he seems fine and his poop is firm.  It's not a regular thing, but it has happened often enough that I think it's a problem that needs to be addressed.  So what gives?  I think he needs to be re-housetrained.  I plan to research the subject and come up with a plan.  You can't teach an old dog new tricks?  Nonsense.  Stay tuned.
