Just a bit of a rant really and if any one has any suggestions I would be really grateful.
Ok I have Winston (14 months) he is a laid back dude never any problem toileting or crate training him he was an absolute dream. He is raw fed and we got him at 11 weeks old. We got Hugo in November at 15-16 weeks, raw fed he's generally good no problems except with toileting, and it has been very hit and miss with the toileting, I thought we were getting the hang of it until the past 10 days. My hands are red raw from cleaning and scrubbing the floors, kitchen, yard washing toys, beds, blankets and Winston and Hugo!!!!! He eats his poo and then is sick everywhere including on poor Winston! Plus he has suddenly taking to chewing everything!!!! the skirting boards, the door post and my new living room side table. The thing is he's like a bloody Ninja, I can be cleaning up a puddle and I turn around and he's pooed and eating it! THEN Winston has now taking to marking over where Hugo has piddled. On top of that Winston has had a rubbish 2 weeks with runny poo and itchy, licking paws (lost some weight) we are getting on top of that and he seems much better the past 3 days. Hubby thinks it because he got into bad habits at breeders as we got him at 16 weeks and littermates went at 10 weeks.
1. Hugo wee's & poo's anywhere even if I have just stood outside with him for 15 mins in yard and even if he's been in yard and done it out there! We treat him when he does it outside and we routinely take him outside.
2. He eats it if he gets a chance and then pukes over Winston, bedding, carpets etc
3. He's chewing furniture etc out of the blue and rips up puppy pads
4. He's started to get a bit nippy
5. He gives no indication of weeing or pooing it's his quirk he literally does it standing up!
6.. Winston marks over Hugo's wee (he always looks really sorry at me like I can't help I tried but I had to, lol)
My house is starting to stink , however much I clean up, it's taking up huge amounts of time. I have OCD and for years (lots of therapy) I have managed really well. I thought I could never cope with having a dog (picking up poo etc and certainly not raw feeding) but I have fostered several dogs before getting H & W and I've overcome all the hurdles with de sensitising etc. I just feel really stressed out and I know they will pick up on that soooooo
I have thought getting Winston neutered next month may help with the marking?
I have 1 large crate and one small crate I though maybe crating Hugo at night as a new starter point/ Should I crate together or just Hugo? (Winston fine he just sleeps all night)
I thought maybe doing last toilet at midnight them set alarm for 3am and 6 am for taking him out of crate and to toilet outside? (generally Winstons hours he woke when pup to toilet)
I take them for walk everyday and we have several trips in the car for school runa nd they have load of toys, kongs, tugggies, balls etc.
No idea what to do with the eating poo thing I clean up after him straight away when I catch him.
Hugo has stag bars and roots to chew on he loves them!
Sorry for long post just nned to try and make a plan and this week has been so busy with hubby working late and the 5 kids at various clubs after school it's all a bit mad. Hope someone can help xx
