We have the same problem with Bentley. He used to poop outside, as well as pee, but in the past month or so, all he will do outside is pee. I always try and wait about 15 minutes or so, after he has eaten before taking him out, so I'm pretty sure he needs to go then. But he won't poop, but as soon as I take him back in the house and turn my back on him, there he goes on the paper!! This past weekend, we've been trying to work with him more on the pooping outside. I know one evening, I stayed outside with him for 30 minutes. Soon as we came back in, he started to squat! I called out his name, and he stopped, so I picked him up and took him outside. It took about 10 minutes, but I think he realized that I wasn't going back in this time til he did something. And the next day, he pooped outside again!! YEAH!! Maybe this is progress, cause he's not pooping during the night now. His paper has been clean/dry in the mornings!! |
