Do you catch him in the act or is he in another room by himself to do as he pleases?

It sounds like you haven't done your part to "teach" the dog where the appropriate place is to go to the wash room...there could be other issues but I neeed a response from you on those questions please!

Also, if he was listening before and not lisening now...my guess is he's decided to ignor you because you do too much talking and not enouph "teaching".

Remember that a dog does not understand your words....only your actions and tone of voice or body movements. Dogs pick up easily when you allow them to get away with things and will take advantage of that until you set them straight. I do not refer to setting them strait with spanking..never hit your dog, this will create a dog that wants nothing to do with you and run from you when you approach him.

Awaiting your response!
