let me just say, my little pup just hit 1 year and STILL poops in the house. no pee... poop. she will ring the bell, go outside, poop, ring the bell, go outside, poop. then all the sudden there is poop in the house! i dont know what to do... i have two other dogs, boston terriers, that are fully bell trained. it only took them 3 months to be potty trained. ive never had a dog so stubborn. she knows to poop outside, she rings the bell and does it... and yet.... i have to keep a CONSTANT eye on her because every now and then i see poo on my hardwood. thoughts??

Ugh, super frustrating! Pugs are stubborn little nuggets, and supposedly one of the more difficult breeds to train. While there's no easy solution, it can be resolved...with a lot of dedication and patience. First, you will have to watch your little one every second she's in the house. If you are going somewhere, or leaving her alone for awhile, you'll have to put her in her crate. Pugs, and dogs in general, will not poo where they sleep. Crate training is so essential to the process of housebreaking. If she is hanging with you and you see her start to circle and squat, you have to instantly pick her up and take her outside. Every time. No exceptions. Like I said, it's a lot of diligence, but I promise it will pay off. Good luck!
Ahh, pooping pugs. It's a good thing they're so darned cute! Our pug poops when he is angry, usually when he is left at home when we just can't take him along. He ALWAYS poops in a shoe. I think looking at your pug's pooping motivation may help you to over come this problem. I'm thinking she may be peeved at the terriers. Perhaps she thinks she can pin this on them. Pugs are more wiley than we give them credit for.
