Hi all.
We have a 1 year old German Shepherd mix breed dog. He is neutered and the vet confirmed he has no health issues. Ever since the snow came (about 3 weeks ago) his behaviour has changed and now he is pooping in his crate. Now, he is only in his crate when we are not home, or for bed time. The rest of the day he is out around the house. Ever since the snow came, every time we leave the house he poops in his crate. As well, he will go to the door and circle, his signal that he has to go out, but when we take him out he is so distracted by the snow he just rolls, plays and eats it. So we will be outside with him for 20 minutes and as soon as we come inside he either poops in the crate or just outside the crate. I've had enough and I don't know what to do. It ends up being 3-4 poops a day I have cleaned in the past 3 weeks. What can we do to correct this behaviour?
