Thanks for using Boop by Petco! You have a few options here. You could get a muzzle to avoid getting bit. You could consider bathing him which will make the lump of feces more manageable when is wet. Also, you could consider using an e-collar so that it is difficult for him to get around you to potentially bite. Good luck!

Designate an area outside for Ruger to use for elimination. Take him there when he needs to go and wait. No walking, but you can circle the area. Once Ruger begins to go, immediately use a cue such as "Do your business" or "Go potty". When he is done, offer praise and a small reward. If he urinates first, stand and wait until he defecates. Don't forget to say the phrase when he does this also. He can go on a short walk after he does both. You can use a spray attractant to keep him interested in the one area. Be firm, patient and consistent. When he is inside, do not leave him unsupervised as long as he is still soiling the house. Place him in a crate or on a leash attached to your hip so you can watch for cues that he needs to go out. Use an enzymatic cleaner such as Nature's Miracle to thoroughly clean any soiled areas.

You can try For-Bid powder. Mix it into the food. Buy it from your veterinarian or at the local Petco. You can also leash walk Sadie to steer her away from stool or areas where there is stool. A last resort would be a basket muzzle which may prevent her from eating stool or at least make it harder to give you time to get her away from it. Pick up any stool in the yard before she goes outside or as soon as she is done defecating. Review her diet with your veterinarian to confirm adequate nutrition and use a variety of toys, tasks and exercise to keep her distracted from any stool.

It's possible she is getting mixed signals from daycare but it's impossible to say for sure. I recommend crating her when you are not directly watching her and at night. This may help to remind her about her housebreaking. You may also want to walk her more often and keep her feeding on a schedule. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

As long as you use gloves or a baggie then wash your hands afterwards, it is safe for you. Talk to your dad and maybe come to an agreement. Doing "poop patrol" could be your chore to earn an allowance.
