| Poopy Predicament Okay, I need some advice or wisdome. My Tobie is doing very well with peeing outside and he does have a first morning poop, very predicatable. But the rest of the day, his poops are very inconsistent even after eating. Just when I think he has to go, he doesn't and when I turn my back for like 10 seconds, poo on the carpet. I take him out regularly and wait outside until he pees, but I can't spend all day and night out there for him to poop other than his morning poo. Any help you guys can offer? I worry that my house smells like poo when people walk through the door. He will have an occasional pee accident but that's mommy's fault for not getting to him quick enough, but the poo thing.....*sigh* Thanks, Tobie's mom |

No Longer a Member | How old is Tobie? When they are very young, there is no poop schedule. You just have to take him out frequently--every 1/2 hour when they are very young, then every hour, and so on. Praise like crazy when he goes outside. |

| and make sure when you clean the carpet to use one of those enzyme cleaners like Simple Solution so he doesn't smell it and go back to the same spot.

| He's 14 weeks and I leave dry food down for him to nibble and then "time" feed him can mixed with dry in the morning and afternoon. |
