Friends dog crapping inside

[Ki3r]

My friend has a Yorkshire Terrier I believe (overgrown rat to me), he is just under a year old (believe June/July, but could be wrong).

Ever since she got him he likes to piss and st in the kitchen, the dog gets let out every couple of hours, he'll go out, piss and st, come straight back in, up to the kitchen (first floor flat, with own front door if that makes any difference?) and squats.

She has left him outside for 30 minutes before to make sure he has 100% been, straight back up and into the kitchen.

She spoke to the vet quickly, who said its likely to be behaviour problems.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

try using a cage maybe,he should not mess in his new home,dirty dog.

Lots of praise and attention when he goes outside would be a start and not make an issue when he goes inside.
There's dog nappies that you can get which might help for inside use - one of my clients used them on her Yorkie who took 2 years before she was properly house trained.

Go back to toilet training basics.

How often is the dog walked? What other attention does it get?

He is caged at night, when she first got him he was in a large cage (I could fit in it), and he would go in it still.

She got a smaller one, and he doesn't st in it.

She lets him out if the cage, straight away takes him outside and he goes outside then straight away up back into the kitchen.

I'll pass the lots of praise on .

This, take dog for walk, watch it do its jobs, praise, repeat 3/4 times a day, no st/piss in house. People dont seem to fathom dogs need this.
