Hi everyone, I have a 8 month old female husky called Ziggy who won't poop outside.

I have a 2 year old male collie who goes outside with her. He poops in front of her, she sniffs it, sniffs his arse and still goes inside to poop. I have a training spray which has been sprayed outside, doesn't matter. She goes out for 2/3 hour long walks and still waits until we are inside to do it. I have caught her a few times doing it and I've told her off and taken her outside, still nothing. She would rather chase flies and raindrops.

I would love any other ideas anyone has

Crate time. Pick a time when you can be home for several days. Keep her in crate for everything except out door time. Give her lots of outdoor time. Put newspaper or something on bottom of crate in case of accident. Use same material outside. Bring her poop outside to where you want her to poop. Or temporarily, while you are home to watch her, use an outdoor tether or trolley system - just make sure you train her the limits of her boundary and that she is not vulnerable in any way (kids...animals...sun...fences and other things she can climb and hang herself on. Be careful she doesn't wrap a leg in the tether...In other words, child proof for an inquisative 2 yr old

Other than that - I am out of ideas!

Crate idea sounds good. Can't tether her outside because we don't really have anywhere we can safely do it but thank you for the help
