Get the dogs attention and have it sit down in front of you. Get on your hands and knees, eyeball to eyeball and repeat the following to your dog: WOOF Woof. WOOF WOOF WOOF. Awrrr, WOOF WOOF WOOF woof. In dog language it means: Shit on the floor again and you are history shithead! Should work!

Basicly your dogs haven't learned to poo outside, probably because you haven't trained them to do so. And no, letting them out for an hour is not training your dog. So start training them now. Start by putting a leash on them and take them outside. No fun, no attention, just time to poop. If one poos outside, praise it (wait untill it's finished or it will stop pooing) maybe give it a treat. Wait for 5 minutes and go back in. Keep the leash on inside and as soon as they get restless, take it outside and repeat the procedure.

Your dogs do not associate outdoors with going to the bathroom. They also don't recognize your authority as pack leader. You need to get a dog crate and place them in it or use a leash to tie them loosely around your waist and keep them close. And then after they eat or when they are done playing or drink water, even right after they wake up, take them outside and tell them to go. Use the work you want. We say, "Go potty". Offer them different areas, bushes, rocks, grass, dirt, whatever. IF they don't go after 10 minutes, back inside. Place them back in their crate or keep them with you on leash. Wait half hour or more. Then repeat, go back outside. They will go out there. We prefer to crate train our dogs as then we re prepared for all sorts of emergencies, traveling, housing at motels or friends' homes or being quiet at home away from activities. Crates become like a safe den for dogs.

Some dogs are easy to train and some seem impossible. I have one of each. The key with the one that poos and pees in the house is to never let her out of my sight. I'm not exaggerating... she will go in the house if I look away for even a minute. It sucks! I wish she could figure it out like my other dog. Good luck.
