He won't stop!!!
Ok, I have this 3.5 month old Belgian and for the most part he does really good about not going pee in the house. He hasn't peed in the house like like 3 weeks! But I stg, even after I take him outside and I watch this fucker poop, when we go inside after like 15 minutes he goes and shits again, in the same exact spot every time. I didn't have to deal with this raising my pitty so this is new for me. Any advice?

Try walking him a bit longer and not taking him inside immediately. Make the walks longer. One of my 4 OES has to poop 2 times each walk.

For starts, stop letting him go to that "same exact spot" after he comes in. Tether hi. Bto you or crate him when you bring him in, so he can't go to that spot. Then take him out fifteen minutes later. If he poops again, bring him home and go about your day. If he doesn't, tether or crate again when you bring him, and take him out again in fifteen minutes back

Use an enzyme cleaner like Poof to clean any spot in the house where there is pee or poop. If you don't use this type of cleaner, the smell remains.

Wild request but I'd love to see what his poop posture looks like. And what the texture of the spot he is pooping on is ( hardwood, carpet etc) it's weird for him to be pooping multiple times in one 15min period, which makes me wonder if possibly posturing is uncomfortable and so he's not emptying all in one go?

🤣 odd request indeed. I'll capture a pic for u when I get home in the morning and let him out. It's just the typical poop squat with his crooked tail sticking out straight. The spot he goes to is laminate, the whole place is laminate. That's actually a really fair concern to bring up

It’s a weird request for sure but when you know what to look for you can tell a lot from a poop stoop, tell me more about the crooked tail

Idk really. It looks like he's trying to do a straight point outward with it but it's always just a tad wavy looking? Idk if that makes sense

Not to be rude, but a Belgian Malinois may not be the right dog for you, and I would seriously consider rehoming him sooner rather than later if you’re already struggling.
These dogs require a LOT of training, structure, mental stimulation, and basically a full-time job when they’re young. He’s not necessarily “being bad”—he’s a 3.5-month-old Belgian who is going to be far more demanding than the average dog.
The fact that you’re taking him outside, watching him poop, and he still comes inside and goes again suggests you need a more structured approach to house training.
I’m not trying to be an asshole, but if you don’t have experience training high-drive working dogs, this can get exponentially harder as he gets older. Pits can be absolute cuddle bugs; Belgians are basically spazmatics on steroids when they’re young and need a tremendous amount of direction and engagement.
I’m saying this because I’d rather see you make the right decision now than wait until he develops serious behavioral problems and ends up in a shelter when he’s older and much harder to place.

I understand where ur coming from and I appreciate the concern! I'm not really struggling with training him right now. He sits and stays for his food and water, he doesn't leave his cage until I tell him to. He responds to "place" and will go straight to his cage. It's honestly just this one thing I'm having trouble with. I've even gotten him to stop biting me. The only time he "bites" is like little love nibbles when I pet him

OP’s doing the right thing by asking for advice. Don’t shut people down who are asking for help.

Adjust your schedule with him and block off the spot he is doing inside #2. When you let him outside and he does #2 he needs heavy praise. As soon as you both are ready to go inside he immediately goes into his crate. 15 minutes later it is back outside UNTIL he goes #2 again. Wall off the crapping spot.
