Expert Answer

To stop a Border Collie from defecating in the room, you need proper training. First, clean up feces and urine promptly to remove lingering odors so the dog doesn’t return to the same spot.

Next, set up a dog-specific toilet in a suitable place with a pee pad on top. Wipe some of the dog’s feces and urine on the pad, then bring the dog over to familiarize it with its toilet.

Finally, learn the dog’s bowel routine and pre-poop behavior. As soon as it looks ready, guide it to the toilet; when it succeeds, praise and reward it with food. After several repetitions, the Border Collie will learn to relieve itself in one spot.
