My family has had my 5 year old dog for 3 years now, after a family friend was looking to rehome him. When we got him, he was fully housebroken and trained (sit, stay, leave it, release, etc), besides barking. Over the past year though, he's been exhibiting growingly disobedient behavior. It started out with ripping into trash bags, then grew to counter surfing & ripping into anything he could reach as long as it is edible. The most current issue is he has been defecating inside. At first it seemed to be some stomach issues or something as it wasn't regular, but it has been over a day & he has gone inside the house 4 times. He is walked three times a day, so he definitely gets the ability to do his business regularly, and there has been no recent change to his diet. I need some advice as to what to do here. What actions do I need to take?
