How often do you feed? Do you free feed? I have found that by feeding twice a day (only!) at the same times every day, I have gotten my Maddie on a schedule. First thing in the a.m., outside to pee and poop. Then she eats. Supper is around 6:00 in the evening, then outside to poop. I think the best thing that helped us is I found a treat that she LOVED. They are a cheese flavored dog "cookie". Once I found out how much she loved these, the ONLY time she got them was after she pooped. I probably sounded like an idiot to my neighbors, when she pooped I got all excited and asked if she wanted a cookie. Once she figured that out, now as soon as she poops and we go inside, she runs to the cabinet where her "poop cookies" (as my kids refer to them!!!) are... I have also found that her food also makes a big difference in the number and size of her stools. I feed Natural Balance with some cooked ground turkey (about 2 tsp) mixed in for flavor. |
