Breeder told me to free feed and stop at 400pm. I like free feed but Nyala is going to free feed herself to. Very hard to free feed when you have 2 dogs. So last night I tried something which im fully against but needed to see it. I put a large blanket on my bed and he slept with me. Little bugger didn't get up once even though my alarm which was set for 230am, I didn't get up and waited to see if he was going to get up. Well he didn't. I got him up at 6am and he was still sleeping. I still got him off my bed n put him out. He pee for a while but man did he poop a big one. So basically he can hold it. Why he wont in his pen is the question.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh boy!!! perfect way to find out!! so now, how the heck to you figure the next step?? maybe just put crate next to you for the night??? and then when he proves he can do that, then boot him out of the room??? what a little stinker!!! and it's funny how much they can 'put out' when held huh...

No matter what he'll get booted out lol. Breeder thinks he gets up cause he's hungry. Arent all pups? Lol maybe he felt more secure me being there as Nyala sleeps on the sofa on her own. He does eat extremely fast. Not use having a dog gobbling up so fast. That plays with digestion.

My breeder suggested to free feed as well but for I don't because (a) Jax would eat it; (b) Jax eats raw and Louie does not; and (c) Louie would eat it all in 5 seconds.

Ah ha I see it is a behaviour issue so maybe his pen is too large I have no idea but I understand that if it is they will go to the bathroom in it. You may have a new bed mate by the sounds of it [emoji12]

Sounds like a issue with the food we had problems like that tried a few high quality kibbles but raw feeding was the only solution. Hope you can find out what's wrong soon.

Don't think it's food related but more of a "bug." Jax had loose stool a couple days before Louie and they eat different food. Jax is now fine so waiting for Louie to catch up but he is just a puppy and does not have as strong of an immune system. Fecal test came back negative for parasites as well.

Yup I think the pen is too big. I do have Nyala's kennel. I think I'll take it back out n put the pen away as having a dog in my bed is not going to happen. I'll do it for a bit for his belly gets to know I can hold it till morning then "kick him out!"

I'm glad it's not a health issue. Hope that works. Good luck telling a bulldog to get off the bed [emoji6]. George doesn't sleep with us he can't stand it when we sleep so he's happy in his crate at night.

He wants to sleep and cuddle with you!!!!!!!!!!!

But yes, I would definitely try a smaller confined area at night as it might very well be that he knows he has the space to go.

Funny you say this. Last night Louie slept with me on the couch and he was all curled up near my face and man, the noises he makes!
