Any one have a cure for a dog messin in their dog house?

Kill a dog for going to the bathroom in its house? Where do you all use the bathroom? I guess you might as well kill all the crap eaters as well. Lmao people are so stupid. These are dogs not pulitzer prize winners.
I had a dog that would eat as much poop as she could no matter what you fed her. I would have dropped her on the ground with any IFC today. If my dogs want to lay in their own crap thats them im not going to kiss them or let them sleep with me.
People buy the hell out of chicken at the store but forget these are the same animals that eat there own crap and are one of the nastiest animals out there.

If you want to stop them then make the house smaller. Ive seen it work.

Sounds like a smart one....

But, if you ask guys to list the traits they look for in a beagle one of the top 3 is always "BRAINS". It's been my experience that dogs that crap/pi$$ in the box and eat $hit lack brains.

How many have ever sold dogs with these nasty habbits? Did you list these habbits in the for sale ad? I personally wouldn't want someone to sell me one like that and I wouldn't sell one like that to anyone. I'm not going to keep such a hound, so what other option is there. They wouldn't make a good pet.

this is part of the problem with beagles these days people settle for a dog that does some things good, if it is not a total dog either keep it or cull it and by culling i do not mean sell, and especially do not breed them. these are traits and we are hiding them then passing along, that is why we know how to prevent it. maybe someone should get on here and tell us how to cull a dog if the .22 is not the way to go instead of just bashing the guy.

I have no problem putting down a faulty rabbit dog.Peeing in the box in my opinion has nothing to do with running a rabbit. It is just something you try to break them of .I will never put down a good running hound for it .If you do,that is up to you.

I'm not going to censor this topic because there's good info here (unless the name calling and tempers get out of hand) but I want to advise everyone that there has been a complaint made on this thread -- with the concern that it will attract Animal Rights groups -- and they are right. When we talk about culling dogs using the method mentioned here, we do indeed invite trouble. All AR types need to do is type in certain search words/phrases and this page will come up for them. Now, I'm not afraid of their azzes, as people who subscribed my magazine (with dead rabbits all over the covers) will attest, so the thread will stand. But I am a very busy person and I don't want to bring any more work to my table than is necessary. So next time, if you think to do it, (and only if you think to) instead of using the testosterone-laden phrase of SHOOT-THE-DOG-IN-THE-HEAD.....consider using some gentler language that tells the same story, for example "dispatch" the dog, or "irreversible culling method," and there's nothing wrong with simply saying what APFII said, "put the dog down."

I understand permanent culling is not for everyone, but I also feel that sometimes it's the kindest thing to do -- for the dog, for the breed in general, and for the already over-populated animal shelters. I don't mean this in a malicious manner, because I'm part of the crowd too, but there are not enough adoptive homes in the world to take in all the crap dogs that hit the ground from the beagling community alone. I have a friend who strictly adheres to the policy that people will never say about him that he passed along a dog that should have been....dispatched. The worst thing I've ever seen done is what the AR people would have us do - just cut the dogs loose. There are POS people who will use a dog for the hunting season and then drive off and leave it after the last day -- either because they don't like the dog, or they don't want to feed it the rest of the year. I would like to dispatch them, but there are laws against that. So when it comes to the dogs, the main thing is that we do what's responsible.

So don't be hating on each other too much or I will have to lock it down anyway.

Thank you.

If everybody starts overlooking kennel manners and behavior in exchange for a good running hound the beagle breed will suffer.

Putting down a dog is the worst thing about owning beagles and I feel sorry for anyone having to do it. To many are shrinking from their responsibility as dog owners because they have dogs with a good pedigree and it will fetch a few $$$.

I have never found it that difficult to find a "good running hound"......but finding a complete hound that not only performs exceptional in the field but behaves well in the kennel and shows some brains and is conformationaly sound is a bigger challenge. The 3 pups last year that didn't make the grade in my kennel lacked brains and or ability. One couldn't be led on a leash, were slow starters, 1 was crap eater, and another lacked desire. I let a guy take one of them and see if he could do something with it but he called 2 months later and said "you were right" and ended up doing the responsible thing. These pups had very impressive pedigree's that all would recognize. They were extremely well socialized by 3 of my children from 8 weeks to 6 months. My 12 year old actually told me on one of them......"this pup is dumb, it dont act like it should". Kids can see it, but the $$$ have blinded some adults . This same 12 year old is very positive about the pup I purchased from deerhost. She says its really smart acting and full of energy and desire. Im willing to bet this pup will make a good one....very similar breeding to the 3 duds, BUT, everything is "connected right" with this pup....If some of you choose to settle for any dog that can run a good rabbit I pitty all the aggrivation you will deal with cleaning dog boxes, listening to the barking, the kennel shy, the dog fighting, the wood chewing, the $hit eating, etc....After spending years fooling with average hounds that were "lacking" in one area or another I come to the conclusion many just dont make the grade . While there are no perfect hounds, there are definately some real good ones and some real bad ones and mostly inbetweeners. Im not keeping anymore inbetweeners. If any of you choose to keep the inbetweeners thats fine just please dont try to sell them to others without disclosing the faults. People are tired of it. Sorry if this post has offended anyone; it's meant to make people think about what and why they are selling their culls.

i posted this earlier but dont see it now....this is a story how "I" has a breeder helped create a problem and just figured I would pass it on so others wouldnt make the same mistake. I raised a litter in the garage one winter when it was super cold out. I would put wood chips on the floor because it made it so easy for us to clean up after 7 puppys. well, when it was time to move them outside to there cedar chipped dog boxes they would go in the dog house. i trained my pups to go on chips! I had a hard time getting them to stop. This was not something breed into these pups, but instead something i did. So, stop and look at EVERYTHING before you call a dog stupid or chose to cull it.

Messin' in their house:

I would guess the dog is in an off the ground kennel?

Quite a few dogs wont deficate if they're "off the ground".
They want a more solid surface.

Try kenneling the dog on the ground ie: kennel or chain, and see if she still does it?

I've never had a dog on the ground deficate in its house, but raised kennel, yes.

good luck,

LPB makes a good point and I can add this to it, take out all bedding and see what happens.I have one now that come winter if I put straw in her house she will pee in it.Pine shavings she seems OK with but I usually just leave her on a bare floor. I tried lowering the ceiling and making the box smaller it didn't help till I pulled all the bedding out.
