    Our year-old lab was doing her business on frequent walks. Although she continue to pee on the walks, she prefers to poop in the house and is very sneaky about it. How do we eliminate this annoying behavior?

    Hi @Dbear, what do you use to clean up after she has done this? It's important to use a cleaner that removes all trace of the smell of poop to her, it will be telling her that that is the place to go otherwise.
    In my limited experience I would say that you need to go back to basics with her and take her outside as you would with a small puppy.
