My Yorkie (Roxie, 3 1/2 months old) seems to have the same problem occasionally. We have 2 pee pads in the apartment. one in the kitchen (where she is kept most of the time) and one one in our living room so that she has a place to go when she is out playing with us.
She has got the peeing on the pad down pat - it took a while - but shes got it - she still has a few accidents now and then.
She will sometimes poo on the pads as well - but not 100% of the time - and we found that more often than not she was going on the carpet. What i've done now this past week - is when I wake up in the morning we take her out - and she does her business. then we bring her back in and give her some breakfast and play with her for a bit.
I then take her for a walk after lunch and she will often pee on during this walk, but not poo. She usually doesn't go poo again till after dinner when we go for another walk - and she usually goes as we finish our walk which is about an hour long. However, tonight she didn't go while we went for our walk, so i brought her in and put her in the kitchen for an hour, and then took her out again, and told her to go "outside" and she did her business.
Seems like she's getting the hang of it; and I'm glad shes going poo outside now - it will be alot easier to transfer her to going completely outside and not inside. |
