Doggy behaviour ?

[suzi-q]

My jack russell is 18 months old and totally toilet trained however since we've had a kitten (couple of weeks) and he has seen her poo in the litter tray he has twice poo'd on the floor in the lounge. I wondered if this was because he thought it was ok, having seen her do it indoors? Has anyone else had the same problem. Also he has rummaged around in the litter tray and took out all her poo which she'd just done and put it on the kitchen floor. Yuk it was not nice. Any advice?

Also further to my earlier posts, dog and kitty are getting on much better. She has even tried suckling off him and he, silly soft dog, lay there and let her do it until she bit him a bit hard whereupon he jumped up. He also lets her eat dinner out of his bowl. So happily I think we will be able to keep her and we have called her Twiglet.

I have a similar problem with my dog but he wee's by the litter tray, the thing to do is keep an eye on him and tell him no and stop/move your dog to where he is alowed to go to the toilet outside and give loads of praise when he's doing it in the right place you have to reinforce the training that you started when he was a puppy toilet training he will soon get the idea, I think they just get confused that kitty is allowed to go inside in this tray thing so that must mean that they are allowed to go inside to and we have to get it in to there cute little heads that this is not the case. as for the removing poo from the tray that only happened once with our dog he was told no/drop and he hasn't touched it since thankgod! Good luck. :-)
