I've had that problem as well. Thor squats on the paper, and then stands up and runs away. If he's managed to fully eject, great. Otherwise... poop on my nice floors.
I always keep Nature's Miracle on hand, and once I was confident that Thor understood the command for poop ("BM"), I stopped treating him if he didn't fully make on the pad. I'm pretty sure he's figured it out, because sometimes now when he starts running, he'll pause for just a second, and lets everything fall into place, so to speak. |
I agree, Pam's kids are adorable and she is a great photographer! Of course, Quicksilver, I love Thor and his tongue in your new avatar!
My Teddy did the poop on the run thing, but when we changed our diet supplement of sweet peas to green beans, everything started coming out in one nice big piece on the pad. I also have learned to stand still while he is doing his business. If I make a move, he gets nervous and runs.
