Hey,guys.
About six weeks ago, my husband and I adopted a mutt puppy (mom is a lab/husky mix, and we're guessing dad was a Saint Bernard). Her name is Turin, and she's about 3.5 months old. She's a sweetie and lovely for our home in all aspects except for one big one: Pooping in the house.
Now, let me preface this with the fact that I have tried to convince my husband to let me train her to sleep in her crate at night, but it isn't going to happen. He's pretty set on it. So, I've started feeding her around 5pm every day instead of the evening like we had been.
Up until today, she had only pooped on our staircase. But this morning, we found poop on our sofa. We've punished her, ignored her after punishing her, used vet-recommended sprays on her messes to deter her from pooping again, and nothing works. I'm at a loss. She's even peed in our bed recently and has started peeing on the stairs, when before she wouldn't dare do either of those things.
