Why isn't my dog pooping in the right spot?

Home More advice Pets & Animals

I have this dog. well, he's not even a year old so I guess he's a pup. at night I fetch him from out in the backyard where he remains for the day (except when I take him for a walk of course) and place him in the laundry room with his mother. he often craps not on the paper I lay out for him but rather right at the door. I walk in the next day and the bottom of the door always scraps his mess and it smears like a brown rainbow. now my question is this: how do I get him to stop doing this. why can't he know to do it on the area where it's meant to be done? weird how he knows to pee there but not crap hehe.
