Maybe they didn’t realize how hard housebreaking would be? Or they have a dog that is hard to train. I have 2 dogs inside my own. I have a poodle mix that is 3. She goes on pee pads sometimes. When I got her 3 years ago I would rub her nose and yell at her for having accidents. Stupid of me I know. She is now fearful to go in front of me because I would shout at her. She is in the process of being trained to go outside now but it is very hard to do. I have since learned the proper way to train a dog. My puppy I have now is almost house broken. It seems easier to shout at your dog but it makes it worse. I feel terrible because of how I tried to train her. I clean my carpets good. Now she doesn’t have free run of the house until she pees outside. But this is my reason. I couldn’t see getting rid of her because of my own stupidity . Live and learn.

I don’t understand it either. The only excuse I can see for this kind of thing is if the dog is ill or very elderly, in which case I’d be taking it outside very often. I can sort of understand pee pads if you live in an apartment and outdoors is some distance away, the dog is small, and it’s good to have a backup in case the dog is ill and can’t get outside. But as a regular thing in a healthy adult dog, that people just sort of haven’t figured out a way to deal with, it’s completely beyond me.

i have a dog that pees in the house a lot, it’s not really a big deal if you handle it correctly. while some people may just be too freakin lazy to take the dog out, some dogs have medical conditions which can affect that also. my dog is 13 years old, i got her from the humane society, she was abused for the major portion of her life and was pretty much gonna live out her life in the humane society. but then i decided to adopt her. she is a good dog, but she pees too much. she has her own bedroom and i have put down the pee pads ( actually the ones i use are just like chair pads you would use for incontinent people) if you leave the pad there for days on end then yeah they will stink but if you change them then it isnt all that bad. so some owners should be more responsible in taking care of their dogs, but some dogs out there have certain issues which can make things difficult. using say pee pads is just a solution to a problem, just like many their solution is to take the dog and chain it outside, or dump it at the pound.

I don’t know about them but one thing is sure: not very freshly.

I think some people get accustomed to the life style their dogs give them.
Although, it’s not the dog’s fault, it’s the owners.

I think that if people can allow their dogs to be doing that in their houses, they aren’t the cleanest people themselves. It says very much about them and how they keep their house

I guess it’s how you are raised? I have three adult dogs in my house and I couldn’t handle stepping in a mess in the morning. If one of my girls has to go in the night they come and wake me up to go outside! Dogs that poo in the house just need to be trained better! Oh, I was brought up to believe you don’t **** in the kitchen!
