Hey all.
I have a 16 year old Brittany Spaniel who has started to lose her marbles a bit. K and I are both at work full time and the dog always stays at home, has the run of the house but will typically just sleep on her bed most of the day. She has always been super house trained and done her business outside. Lately, she poops in the house while we're at work. To make matters worse, she's now unable to relax and walks around the house all day long. Sometimes it can be a real mess when we get home.
We're at our wit's end. Every night when we get home we have to clean up after the dog. Luckily we have wood floors, but it's still a real hassle.
We've altered her diet, put her on different dog food, we've stepped back her meals to one a day (in the evening) vs. two meals / day.
Any suggestions on how to make our lives easier as we make this transition? We love the dog, but the mess has got to stop!
