Dog Behavior Question

Hello,

I have two dogs at home; A 2 year old black lab and weimaraner mix and
a 1 year old weimaraner. My black lab/weimaraner, Oly, has started a
new behavior that is concerning. He has been housebroken since he was
a young puppy but has suddenly started pooping in the house. I do not
leave him home for long hours by himself and he goes out many times a
day. I am starting to worry that this is some sort of sign of
unhappiness. I have tried looking up information online and cannot
find any. My next step is going to be to call my vet but I am
wondering if anyone has had experience with this or is familiar with
what this behavior may mean. If anyone has any information on what
this may be a result of, please let me know.

Thanks,
Danielle

A dog pooping in the house that has been previously housebreaking can be a
sign of separation anxiety.
With any sudden change of behavior a consult with your vet is a good idea,
and he will probably address Separation anxiety with you as a matter of
course.
