i have 2 dogs a bichan something or another and a Lhasa poodle. me and my mom live in a 1 story home with 2 bedrooms a single bath and a finished basement. we just picked up these dogs a week ago and when we got them they where completely house trained. they would bark at the back door when they wanted out and it was all perfect. i could have them sleep with me and leave my door open to let the roam free in the house but they would stay with me anyway. yesterday max the Lhasa got diarrhea and pooped on the rug as natural as that is i was not angry i just cleaned it and took them out like 4 times after i found he could not hold it i put them in there crates (they where occasionally found sleeping in when we got home). i walk through the house and find one of them peed on the couch so i cleaned that and went to bed some 4 hrs later. after taking them out about 10 more times my mother said screw it let them sleep with me and if he has an accident then il clean it. in the morning my mom crated them and went to work. being as tho i was up all night i was sleeping and woke to some loud barking. since i have woke they have not stopped barking and i don't know what to do any more im so fed up. i am about 3 sec from putting them in the only room without carpet in the basement and letting them bark it out. Any HELP

additional info:::: when we got her she was just spayed and when we got her home went through a false pregnancy with the licking and the hiding things to make beds for puppy's that would never come. she is now over that mostly but is still nippy when it comes to max near her bed.

his diarrhea isint so much the problem we just realized now that we need them to be quiet in there Kennel and quite possibly down stairs.

any help plz?????????

Are they rescued/ where did they come from? All dogs need time to adjust, especially rescues. Have you had dogs before? I'm all for crate training, but dogs are meant to be with you. How much time do you spend playing with them, giving them attention? How much time do they spend in the crate at one time and throughout the day? Do you have a trainer or some training books? If you switched their food when you brought them home, that would explain them being sick. It's been a week so I would just wait it out at this point. Just like with us, diarrhea hits fast so he probably couldn't help it.
