Hello everyone
so I've had my lil Toby for a week and he is doing pretty well with the potty training. When I tell him "Go Potty" he goes on his mat. But he won't poop on it. I really don't know what to do He just pooped in the living room(thank god all floors are tile), I took him made him smell it and said "NO" and put him on the mat. Now he is in his crate and will take him out in a few.
I dont know if this is the right way of teaching him where to poop? I took him outside, he peed and when we came back about 20 mins later he pooped! I am very patient with him, I give him for learning where to pee but I need help with the pooing part.
Another question, he is 11 weeks old and I am at home most of the time with him but when I go out I put him in his crate. Is this the right thing?

Thanks!
