Have finally cracked it, went out in the week for the evening and got back home at 2am, left the light on so people would think i was in, lol
Shadow had done all his business on the paper.
So went out and brought a night light, put it on in the kitchin at night when i go to bed and he has not poo'ed in front room once
Never heard of a dog afraid of the dark, but if it works then night light he will have lol
 

The problem is i live in a small town and all it has is a tesco, so i can only change him to something they stock, any ideas of what sort of food to give him and i will look to see if they have any. thanks 

what do i put down apart from paper and pads??, he always goes by back door, i do take him in garden all the time but he will not go to the toilet. his pouches are pedigree for puppies.

i give him 2 pouches one in morning and one in evening and bakers complete puppy 4 times throughout the day, twice in morning and twice in evening

6pm

i have to give him some biscuits before i go up to bed so i can get out of the door.
He is not left long as i go to bed late and get up early.
thanks for the replies very helpful

Hello

My puppy is 9 weeks old, He goes to the toilet on the newspaper or in the garden during the day.
At night its a different story, he is fine still goes on his paper till i go up to bed.
I come down in the morning to find number 2 all over my carpet, all in the same area every morning.
I cant not stop him from doing it as i am in bed and i just dont know what to do?

Please can someone help
