Alright, so I have a 4 year old German Shepherd. The last couple of weeks he has pissed and crapped in the house almost everyday. His poop looks normal. So I dont think he is sick. He has went to the bathroom in the house in the last two weeks more than he has even in his wholeeeeeeeee life. Has anybody ever had this happen? I mean, I don't know what to do. We let him out more than usual. We have not changed his diet or anything. I am just curious if anybody has had a dog that has went through a phase like this and how did you fix the problem? I am about to kill him

He's asserting his dominance over you. Only option now is for you to move out

Have you punished him for it? Does it do it when you're there, right in front of you?

The only answer is a judge to the face

Call 911. The authorities will take your problem away from there.
Don't think about it, just do it.

I have punished him. The only thing I have not done is beat the piss out of him. He does not do it when we are home. Only when we are gone. The worse part is that he knows he is doing wrong. He always greets us at the door, when he shits or pisses, he is in the back. Never fails. I almost want to think he is doing it on purpose haha. I mean, other than the last two weeks, he has only went inside like 5 times and that was due to me being gone for 12 hours.

Dog is irritated with you and being a dick. Punish him and then take him out and play with him. He's probably pissed because you're not paying enough attention to him.

Doggie door. Problem solved

Shave the dog first, because you don't want it to smell like burnt hair in your oven, and baste the dog with butter before you start because you don't want it to get too dry. Cook the dog for about an hour and a half at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Baste every 15 minutes.

Separation anxiety. He wants attention. He doesn't care if it's positive or negative, he just knows that's a way to get your attention.
You have to ignore it. Do not punish him. Just clean it up when he's in another room and act like it didn't happen. And reward him when you come home to a poop and piss free house. That should stop it. Won't be overnight obviously.

Yea, he does have separation anxiety. He follows us everywhere around the house. When we go on vacation, he stays at my parents house. They say he just mopes around and hardly eats until we get back. Same thing when we occasionally board him at the vet. Thanks for the advice!

Is he drinking more than normal?
Have you changed foods? What's he eating?
Anything in the house changed at all (includes new people, furniture, flooring, whatever)?
Does his gait look normal when on walks? Not stumbling at all or acting weak or scuffing his toes?

Do you ever walk the poor guy? German Shepherds weren't bred to sit around the house all day. He's probably just grown anxious.
You can't discipline/train a dog until you exercise it.

Yea man, like I said, he has just started doing this. Dog gets plenty of discipline and exercise.

Fair enough. Sorry if that came off as preachy. Can't stand people who get active dogs and then leave em' homebound. Got one of these for my blue tick coonhound while he's crated during the day, so he won't whine.
Seems to do the trick.

cut his balls off as a punishment

Yep, I agree. I think it's separation anxiety based upon your description.

Its cool man. I feel you there, people dont need pets if they arent going to treat them right.
I sure am thinking about buying one of those Thundershirts. It cant hurt to try it out. Thanks man
