I can understand your fustration, Janet. When I first got Jazzi she ate the cat's poop. Gross!!!!! I think that some of that was our fault because the cat only had dog food to eat and I don't think that she processed it very well so it was appealing to Jazzi. We got rid of the cat this summer because she was very sickly and I think that Jazzi's poop eating has stopped.

As for the pooping and peeing in the house, I don't know how you correct it when you really don't know which one has done it. I take a curled up, noisy newspaper after mine and send them straight outside when I find that they've gone in the house. Jazzi's finally housebroken so I'm not finding much at all in the house anymore. Reuger's marking more than he used to but it's mostly on boxes that are out of place. I still scold him, show it to him, and send him outside.

Maybe you should try crating them and just let them out to potty. Try that for a day or two and see what happens. I know that it's hard but hang in there!!!

As for the barking, Jazzi is my barker and now has Reuger barking too. She barks at everything!!! I keep my rolled up newspaper nearby and as soon as I pick it up and whack the couch, the barking stops. She even barks when a doorbell rings on TV!!!! We go through good times and bad times with this one. Jazzi has certainly kept us on our toes!!! We realize what a good dog Reuger is now!!!!!
