I no longer work so i'm always home. I did the "keep her in a smaller room, blocked off and with pads on the floor and gave her treats when she went on the pads" then increased the space a bit at a time.
She will go pee on the pads but sometimes she will go poop on the pad sometimes not. I have went back to the "training" 4x's now, until she "gets it (this takes about 4wks) then a few weeks later she goes right back to poop on the carpet! If i catch her in the act i will tell her no and put her on the pad and give her a treat.
There are times she will look right at me and pee/poop on the carpet, like just because she can out of spite!
What the heck is going on??? |
From my experience, when we were working on housebreaking using the pad, Canela would think the runner in the hallway was just a big pee pad.
She would do the same, stare at me as she would go right on there, in some cases, she would even start to walk away, while going, as I would ask her why she was going there.
What I ended up doing was just tossing away the runner. It may not be so easy with wall-to-wall carpeting, but it worked. And yes, I tried the the enzyme elliminator and all that stuff, but she still would go on it.
She hasn't gone inside ever again.
