Okay, so picture this: I walk into my living room, ready to chill on the couch after a long day, and BAM! There's a big, stinky present from my dog, Buster, right on my favorite cushion. Not cool, Buster, not cool.

My first reaction? Pure, unadulterated "What the heck?!" I mean, he's house-trained! He knows better! So, I started my mission to figure out why this was happening.

Step 1: Rule Out the Obvious

  • Did I forget to take him out? Nope. I'm pretty religious about his walk schedule. Morning, afternoon, and before bed. We stuck to it.
  • Is he sick? I checked his poop (yeah, it's gross, but necessary). Looked normal, no diarrhea or anything weird. He was eating and playing like usual, too.
  • Any changes in his routine?This took some thingking.

Step 2: Thinking harder, I found the key point.

I start to consider other * get older these * just doesn't have the same control he used to.

Step 3: The "Aha!" Moment & Solution

And that's how my dog Buster remind me to take him out,and the problem was solved.I should be more paticence to * start training him to use the puppy pads indoors, just in case.

It wasn't a fun experience, cleaning up dog poop from the couch, but hey, it's part of being a dog owner, right? At least now I know to pay closer attention to my furry buddy.
