How do you stop a dog from doing this lol

Now this is a good subject to debate! BoarNinja where are you? What breed craps the best, just kidding, I could not resist this one.

Seriously, some dogs do it because they get so excited and can't control themselves do to the excitement. I have one like that, after a couple of years I finally figured out how to cure him. The first thing I do before getting ready to hunt is get him off the chain, put on his cut collar, and tie him to a tree close to the truck. Then I load all my other dogs that don't have a problem, get all my gear together. By this time this dog will have crapped on the ground and I can load him to go hunting.

I was told along time ago if you put a dog in a shorter box where he can't hunker over and crap they won't do it, but I disproved that one, it may work for some guys, not in this case.

I had a beagle once that you could take out of the kennel 23 hrs before a hunt and the minute he got in the box he would drop a bomb and have it all over every dog in the box.He was a great rabbit dog but he had to go.I also had a beagle that would only crap in the water bucket.Wish I knew a way to help you but I am clueless on what to do about that.

I had a rig dog one time that you could get out of the box walk a mile in both directions and the minute you snapped him to the rig, guess what? my buddy uses the old fashioned correction method, but not real sure if it ever worked :-\. im not really sure if you can break them. some do and some dont.
  I usually keep plenty of hay or saw dust/chips in my box, that its not that big of a deal.

Most of the dogs iv hunted with have done this when ever they smellor we drive through an area with hogs in it but think about this way would u rather have a dog do that while ur walking in with the cd still onthe lead and there's a big mean ulgy son of a gun In the brush with a taste for blood or in the truck bed that u can clean in 5 mins with a hose

I feed my dogs 16 hours before taking them on a hunt and don't have any problems but if I end up on an unexpected run I always end up washing out the bed of the truck. How close to hunt time are you feeding your dogs??

I had  red tick I had this problem with for a while. I would turn dogs loose for a few minutes before I would load up for this purpose. She never would go. But be in the moving truck for 5 minutes and she would go.
I lived way out in the sticks on a dirt road. So I started loading every one but her, I would then ease on down the road, like I was roading. About five minutes of this, she would go. Then and only then would I load her.

I've never had a problem with it until I got this new dog. He is a half hound and is a horrible mannered dog. As soon as you load him up he pisses everywhere and if were headed to hunt somewhere a good ways away he will drop a deuce. I usually feed the dogs everynight when I get home from hunting or around 6 o clock every afternoon so they're eating a while before we hunt. I took him out to a place to hunt last night probably 10 miles away and pulled through the gate and set him up on the dog box to rig. As soon as I set him up on top he crapped everywhere. I've never seen another dog that'd do this

Ive had this problem with puppies alot all i do is leave them in the box with an older dog for a while even after they have crapped in it, dont know why but it has worked for me.  usually it only takes a few times.

One thing you might try is to put him in one of the smallest portakennels you can find,most dogs dont like laying in thier own crap.If that doesnt work I dont know what will.

our dogo is the worst

Bar -M
    hell if ya get tired of gringo just send him our way
            leave a dog in the box for a couple of day with feed and water and  not to let it out but to piss and crap and the
dog will stop crapping where he sleeps

 Ive heard that if a dog cant squat he wont crap in the box, Lower boxes are the way to go.

When y'all find a awnser call me let me know. My male bulldog finally got it after 3 years but my female is just nasty she even does it in her bedding in the dog house then lays in it she's just a dirty dog. I guess it's something there parents teach them when there young I have no clue

Crapping in the box aggravates me worse than a trail barking cur!!! lol

I guess I have been lucky. I took the advice from an old timer a long time ago and it has worked for me. Just let them ride in it and if they get it all over them good! Its no different than house breaking. You have to catch them when they do it to correct them though.

Had a buddy that could never catch one of his dogs in the act and he was real bad about it. He started hauling him in a wire panel box by himself with a hot collar on him so he could see him in the rear view mirror. It only took lighting him up a few times in "mid loaf"!!! No more issues with that dog and he was the worst I ever saw. Wont even begin to tell you the nick names we had for that poor rascal. lol

Come on Boar ,throw some of those names out just for  entertainment ;D

Lets just say he answered best to $hitty. The only other names suitable to post where ole Cess (short for Cesspool), Big Stank, ole gag, Mud pump, and "Splatterhound the wonder dog" are a few I recall.
Part of the fun hunting with that dog was comming up with a new nick name for him every hunt just to aggravate his owner! lol >:D

The best part "was" Ole gag's owner. He was completely anal about keeping a spotless truck. Everywhere this guy made a stop he would get out and walk around his truck inspecting it. He still does it to this day!
We call him Felix after the "anally clean" guy from the TV show The Odd Couple.
The start of every single hunt he would cuss Ole Mud pump till he was blue in the face and threaten to "hard cull" the poor rascal. The new names nick names just made it worse and thats why we did it!

 Probably why he went through so much trouble breaking "Splatterhound the wonder dog" from his mid trip "calls of nature". lol.

Poor dog. Even after he was broke from it we still kept coming up with new names for him. He just never lived it down.

I've got a catch dog thats bad about it so when I'm loadin up dogs I put her on a lead and tie her by the truck and load the other dogs .The anticipation will always do the trick  I think thats why most dogs do it JMO

 ;DBoar thats was hilarious!That was the reason I asked because I know if it had been one of my buddies dogs we would have given him the blues about it.The dude being so anal is what really makes the story good.I also like the names,very original.

 ;D Im with buck hunter ive got a low box !! and its never had a deuce dropped in it!!!

Some dogs do and some don't. The ones I have now don't. However, I still have a hoe with about a 2 foot handle to take care of the problem.

Thanks for the help everyone. He's a good dog so hopefully I can get it cured

I let my dogs out of the kennel everyday to POOP! So when I get ready to load them I just let them out and they run around for a couple of minutes and then they load up. Then maybe we will stop after a couple of hours and let em POOP if is that long of a hunt.

Hah!- I thought I was the only one that had this problem! LOL

While working my way through school, I was a K-9 officer for our local Sheriff's Department. I worked a dual purpose dog (narcotics as well as apprehension) and he was a firecraker and I sure miss that dog. He and I had some good times and made alot of dope arrest on I-10 coming from Texas into Louisiana.

However, if I used him in a situation where he had to do alot of work (crowd control, criminal tracking) and he didn't get to bite a suspect, he would crap in the car. I took me awhile before I realized it was only when he got worked up and didn't bite somebody. I guess it was his way at getting back at me for all that adrenaline, and no climax! I tried everything, shock collar, beat downs, taking him to the park for 20 minutes to calm down - it didn't matter, if he didn't get a bite after tracking a suspect then the trustees at the jail got a stinky car wash. He would sometimes wait 2 ours, but sooner or later, he was crapping in the unit! I seriously thought about just letting him bite the SOB to keep me from having that smell in the car!

The best I have figured is to go out and let out the dogs a few minutes before I am ready to leave.  I talk em up and get em all excited and hope they drop the bomb before I load them. LOL Some dogs just seem worse about it than others.

However, if I put my bulldog on top of the box as I often do he will have projectile diahrea. Ofcoarse he will also poop on your foot if you donbt watch it. :-\

An old trick is to take a twig, about 4 or 5 inches long, lick one side of it and slide it in the dogs backdoor. Slide about two inches in and leave about two inches out. Make sure the end you are inserting is not sharp or pointed, you don't want to hurt the dog. As the dog's tail wags is bumps on the twig, stimulating it,within a few minutes it will do it's duty. I am not joking about this, an old dog man taught me this and it has worked for me before. Can't say it will always work, but worth a try.

i believe i hav heard it all now ;D :o

I know its funny, I thought he was crazy.  He went grabbed a dog did this exact thing and within a couple of minutes he was going, I know it sounds nuts.

This falls into that "Crazy enough to work" category! Ill take your word for it though. lol. Heck, why waste time on lubing sticks and tail stimulation. Just give the dog a enema and be done with it!  ;D LMAO!!

Ha I think I'd rather have the dog crap in my box than have to stick a stick up his rear.

Cop- Sir what are you doing with that stick.

You- I am getting him to crap before I load him up.

 Cop- Please have a seat over over there. Dispatch ,we have a pervert sticking sticks up his dog's azz. Please send back up.

Hahaha thats a good one

 :D :D :D :D

Over 30 replies and 600 viewings so far. Who woulda thunk it? ??? ;D lol.

Kind of off topic but a funny story.

A bunch of us were out on the river huntin, one of my buddies dropped a deuce down by the riverbank. We about to leave in the boat and some other guys pulled up to hunt the spot we were at. The guy got out and stepped right in the poop. He said "damn't i stepped in dog s**t". The one of his buddies said "dogs dont wipe dumass". We were all cryin laughing at this guy as we pulled off.

Nothing like leaving a rattlesnake in the middle of the road, only to pass someone one the way out of the woods.  Bad feeling for sure.

I agree with uglydog on this....that seems to do the trick for most all dogs that I've known that had a problem with going in the dogbox. Good luck.

In the Roman Coliseum the Gladiators had those hallways to the floor where they would do battle. Those hallways are called vomitoriums. The Gladiators would "empty" themselves from both ends just before battle. This practice is the reason the Roman soldiers wore what looks like a skirt and the Kilt is worn with nothing underneath. So when your dog poops in the box just think of him as a Gladiator preparing for battle! Either that or carry a small shovel and some deodorant.

Anybody got any pics?  ;D

So, I'm confused do you lick the stick before or after?  Just want to make sure I give good directions for my hunting buddy> ;D


On a serious note uglydog and a few others hit the nail on the head.  Let that dog out first and load him last after everything else is loaded.  That should help greatly, I have heard the small box theory too.  But I proved it wrong as well, wadded my 130lb CD in a cramped alum birddog box with same results.  Some dogs are just too exited and cant hold their mud I guess...
