yes she is on a schedule.. in the a.m. around 7 and then when i get home from work at 6pm. i know she can hold it cause she went about two weeks without pooping in her crate.
i come home at lunch around 12 or 1 ( and sometimes i go to work at 10 am) and within two hours, she has already gone. she is not by herself for longer than 5 hours.
When she didnt poop for the two weeks, i thought we had finally gotten over our little bump... but do you think it is possible that it may have something to do with us moving?
we recently moved into a new duplex and have been here almost 3 weeks. she didnt poop for maybe the first three days, and i thought maybe she was just getting use to the new smell of the new home, but so far its been three days in a row that she has pooped which has me convinced she is just back to her old ways.
i will not let her go in her crate until she poops, and hopefully that will work. thanks! |
It could very well be the reason she is regressing. I know this is said soooo many times, but keep doing what you are doing, praise her when she goes outside (give her the treat as soon as she is done going, not when she comes back in
) be patient and persistant and praise praise praise, it will get better.
