| http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...-his-poop.html The key is to feed it everyday to break the habit. It takes dedication, repetition..it works when done everyday.

I would offer food with water for 20-30 mins., make sure hes eating enough and usually they poop within 20-40 minutes...usually, not always. You really have to keep on top of them at this point, the best part is once you get them going right it usually doesn't take very long for it to become routine....of course there will always be accidents.

| Thanks lynzy420 OK...... I will try that..... he is 12 weeks old but only weighs 1lbs 9ozs.... hthe breeder informed me that the mother weigh 4lbs and the father weigh 3.5lbs..... so i guess my hershey will be very small too..... i will definatly try feeding him 3 times a day instead of letting him eat when ever..... i guess he's so busy maybe he is not eating his food like he should.... Thanks again |

| There is some stuff you can buy that you put in the dog's food that makes their poop taste bad and is supposed to stop the behavior. I don't know what's in it, but it's probably worth a try. |
