If you want to figure out why your dog is misbehaving, you need to think like a dog, not a human. This article does a great job of showing how we misinterpret why dogs misbehave. One of our dogs has diarrhea in every room of the house if we leave him at home alone. I decided it couldn’t be because he was mad at us because it didn’t seem to be something he could control. Besides, if we leave him in the bedroom, he doesn’t have a problem. Our vet confirmed that he’s nervous. The house is too much freedom; the bedroom feels safe.
