Maybe I'll try cheese whiz then- he LOVES the stuff. It's what the vet uses to get him to hold still while he pokes and prods. The last time we were there, he sandwiched some between two small biscuits- Paddington acted like he saw Jesus when he got that thing. Now the trick is to get him to go potty outside to receive such a treat! I've been searching on the internet for ideas to encourage eliminating, but the best one I could find is just taking him outside everytime he starts to go. That hasn't worked so far.
I think he sees being taken outside as a punishment for going potty, because now every time he gets caught in the act he runs away so we can't catch him. He's also started to hide- going behind the couch and pooping etc. I don't yell at him, I just go and pick him up and take him out to the grass. He stopped going outside alltogether about two weeks ago. He's never gone while we're out walking, only under our deck in our yard.
