I have a 18 weeks Yorkie. I only got him from the breeder a week and a half ago. It only took us 4 days to wee wee pad train him and has had no accidents both in his area (gated off kitchen) and our living room. He's been a bit harder to train in terms of pooping on the wee wee pad. But as of yesterday, he seems to know to poop and pee on the Wee wee pad in the living room. But when it's in the kitchen, which is his domain - he pees on the pad every time but when he poops he poops in the SAME spot in front of the fridge. What should I do?

I was told to catch him in the act and then put him on the pad to tell him. Which Ive done many times, but he goes back to the front of the fridge to poop. Today, I did it twice (to a point he just didn't poop) and the second walked out to change for work, he poops in front of the fridge again!!!

What can I do?
