Help! Need to potty train my dog....AGAIN!

[danimarie0820]

Bruiser, my big eared dog to your left, has been potty trained since I got him as a puppy. All of a sudden this past month he has been choosing a bedroom to poop in! He goes to the front door and whines when he has to go, I take him out, he pees and wants back in. I've had him outside for 20min before and as soon as we go in he bolts to the bedroom. When he goes in there I have grabbed him and taken him back outside to finish but he still doesn't get it. I need any suggestions please! I'm ready to pull all of my hair out!

I'd kennel train him.....he's old enough to catch on that he has to stay in the kennel until he poops. Also I'd stay out with him until he does his business and then reward him with a treat and lots of praise. Punish him only if you catch him in the act or immediately afterward, doing it in the bedroom. Shut the bedroom door too........

I will be able to shut the door once we get a new one. One of the hinges to it broke due to the guys not being careful moving furniture in there...Im hoping to go get one soon. From what I have heard home depot hasn't been keeping them in stock.
