Sounds like my old boy before he got really sick. He'd go to the door, just stand there if I was in the viewable area. Otherwise, he'd kind of shake his collar if I was not looking but still in sight. If he had to go out and I wasn't in sight he'd bark once. Then twice if I didn't come right away.
Before he was sick, he had 2 poop accidents and one pee accident in 5 years. 1 poop and pee were right by the door whilst I was away at work and was late getting home. The other poop...Right in front of the farthest toilet from the door. Like I'm surprised he didn't figure out how to get up, poop, and flush. He did almost everything I could do except for that and laundry....or maybe he could do laundry but trained me!!
I walked him 1 mile in morning, 2 miles at night until he got super old, then it was maybe 3/8 mile. But, he did his business and he'd know we'd turn around then. I don't get why some folks have "bad dogs." It's most likely "bad human."
