I once had Capone trained pretty well on pee pads/litter box but I decided to teach him to go outside and it's much easier, but he will never use it in his x pen unless he's sick. Once I got him to realize its ok to go outside he never uses the house (saved tons on pee pads and carpet cleaning) I think free feeding is making her poop more. I know you said you're on a budget, but maybe you can see if your area has doggie daycare, it's not as expensive as you might think. I give them some of the credit for Capone using the bathroom outside. Good Luck. |
