Hi everyone I got my Fifi when she was three months old. She is now six months old!! I got her to pee on her puppy pad at 4 months. I was so happy I bought a baby gate and locked off my kithen which is the only area of my aprartment that doesn't have carpet. I use to sit in there with her and place her on the puppy pad. If she would pee off the pad I would soak up the pee with the pad. I would then place it back in the kitchen and take her back again in the kitchen an hour later. I would then sit with her again in the kitchen for awhile and place her on the pad. Finally when she would start doing it on the pad i would give her a treat. Then after that I would start locking her up in the kitchen and not let her out until she peed on the pad and then i would give her a treat. After two weeks it got easier as I would lock her up she would go straight to pee on the pad and then look at me to give her a treat. I have no problem with the peeing now she goes all by herself and i have to give her a treat for every time she pees on the pad so I literally have to count the spots. She sleeps through the night and never pees on the bed (Thank God) We go out for hours now and when we come back her pad is full of pee pee spots and she's waiting for her treats. I hope she continues when i go back to work

But i'm having major problems with her poop

she refuses to poo on her pad. She only poops in one spot under my dinner table

. No matter what i do she won't poop anywhere else. Thank goodness she has never had diarrhea so it's easy to clean up bec it's always hard. She also does the weirdest thing when she's done pooping, she kicks and digs with her back feet it's so funny. I'm so scared that she will poop when i have friends and family over

I don't know what to do, i've tried everything

Can anyone give me advice I don't know what else to do. She won't go outside either I can take her for long walks and she will hold her pee to do it on her pad and her poop to do it under my kitchen table

Thanks in advance for any advice, sorry for such a long post
