It is a learned process. They learn from their mothers....mom's diapering them....so, they pick it up. It is animal thing, mother's keeping the pups and den clean. Pups pick it up. It's up to the breeder to hopefully turn around a bad habit. Doesn't always work before leaving the breeders house, so the owner needs to continue with the process. Immediately picking up poops, not leaving anything to chance. A strong no when caught in the act. Some, of the additives bought from online pet sites are very dangerous and can cause fatal results....so, I wouldn't recommend them. Most pups outgrow it.
