We have two staffies both males and the youngest one which is two and half messes in the utility room, we have tried everything he is such a great dog but i dont know what else to do. We thought it could be speration anxiety but he is fine when he goes to the kennels any suggestion please

how many time a day does he go for walks?
what i would do is walk him in the morning when you get up then in the afternoon and at night see if that helps, i know some people haven't got time to do it has much as me i take my 3 out 3 times a day for 45mins walks.

Hiya. it could be a seperation anx thing but it could also be an attention thing.
What are you and hubbie doing as soon as you walk in the room and see the mess?
are you telling him off and telling him he is a bad boy?
If so you need to stop this and go in clean the mess and dont talk to him and act as if he has done nothing. I know this sounds mad but even negative attention when you enter a room is still attention. He will get the message that his messing is getting him nothing in return. this may take a few wks but give him time ok.
I hope some of this helps you
