| Luma's potty dance! Luma has been here since Friday and has acclimated well. Potty training has been stressful because we have to watch her like a hawk or she'll potty right NEXT to the pee pad. She refuses to go on her T. Bumpkins pad, sadly...I hink she thinks it's a bed? Even if I use that puppy training spray she won't go. I put down a disposable and she has been going on it every time, no mistakes. We dont know if she's too young to make the connection yet but we've been clicking and giving her a piece of kibble. She eats chicken soup but we're treating with TOTW b+v which she goes nuts for. The best part is that if she has to pee, she runs around with her nose to the floor, sniffing and scratching. But if she has to poo she starts barking and becomes super hyper and spins in circles on the mat! We were worried maybe she's constipated but she seems happy and normal.. She is a blessing, and SUCH a good girl. Oh, and she sleeps 10 to 5am every day. Who needs alarms?

| Mine spins and so did my son's girlfriend's yorkie. We learned from her what to look for so when we were potty training and we saw Maggie start to circle we knew to quick get her outside. Sometimes she will do her circles and decide it's not quite right and scamper over to a different section and start again. It can take one spin cycle or several. Sometimes she even abandons the location and continues her walk until the time is right to spin again. I don't know if she is sniffing for just the right spot, or waiting for the product to reach the opening....I wonder if big dogs do it too? |

| Zoey does a "poo poo dance". She turns left and right about 6 or 7 times then does her poo. At night I can hear her little feet tapping on the wooden floor through her wee wee pad. It's always been so cute. She does do the circle thing when she pees.

| Sounds like Luma is doing great! Hopefully you will be able to get her to figure out the washable pads... I plan on doing washable pads once we run out of disposables.

| Henri spins too, he spins exactly 3 times before going poo, it is one of the funniest things I have seen him do. It sounds like Luma likes her new home, I'm happy for both you and your new furbaby
