[quote=Anonymous]In response to the jerk who says rescue dogs are problems, all of my dogs -- 4 total -- have been rescue dogs.  All of them were housebroken just fine.  In fact, they're way better than a friend's dog. (the friend got the dog from a breeder and it still has accidents, even after crate training).

My adopted dogs were seriously awesome dogs.  The first was with me for a long time, and it was hard when he died.  The second was a big love bug.  It was sad when he died.

The other two are my current dogs, and they're very well behaved.  No accidents.

So it's possible to adopt a rescue dog and have a wonderful experience.

That said, dogs are individuals.  And some respond to past trauma in different ways.

To the OP, don't give up.  Just be open to trying new things.  I agree withe PPs about a consistent feeding schedule.  The good news is that pee is harder to clean and control.  but dogs, if fed consistently, can get on a pretty predictable poop schedule.

Perhaps you could buy those scented pee pads and actually put one *outside*.  When you take the dog out for an after-dinner poo, walk over to it.  It might be the cue he needs.

don't give up.  You'll find something that works.  It just might take some trial and error.  You made progress with the pee situation, and that's definitely a good sign.[/quote]
