Border Collies are generally quite clean, and even if they are not, they usually won’t poop in their own beds. However, some dogs are very strange; not only do they urinate and defecate randomly, but they also poop in their own beds. Of course, this may be due to illness, but it may also be a naturally bad habit.

Border Collie Poops in Its Own Bed?

        When a Border Collie does not relieve itself in the designated area and poops casually in its bed, the owner should take this seriously and punish the Border Collie. For example, point to where the dog pooped and firmly say that it is not allowed to poop there, or directly place the Border Collie in the bathroom or similar area to reflect on its behavior. This way, the Border Collie will understand that such behavior is wrong and won’t randomly poop in its bed again. In short, if you want your Border Collie to stop pooping in its bed, you can gradually train it using these methods, and the dog will get used to using the designated toilet area.

        Furthermore, many Border Collies might first want to find a place to poop immediately after waking up in the morning. Before pooping, the dog may exhibit some habitual or abnormal behaviors, such as playing here and there or suddenly running to a corner. At such times, the owner must observe closely and quickly take the dog to the prepared dog toilet so it can relieve itself there. Especially after the dog poops, the owner can gently pat its head or give it praise. Border Collies are very intelligent animals; sometimes they can recognize by the owner’s expression that they are being praised, which makes them willing to use that spot to go to the toilet.

        Of course, training always requires a long-term effort. You may feel it’s boring, but never give up halfway. After a few more sessions, the dog may learn it.
