She is very good going on her puppy pads and has only had a couple of accidents (wee wee's) but today I caught her trying to do a sneaky poop behind her bed and then again behind the chair!
I think she's trying to hide it from me because she dosnt want to get her butt cleaned.
Im not ruff or anything when I do it so please dont think that because I am gentle she just dosnt like to get her butt wiped
When she is much older (she is only 8 weeks) and ready to go to the groomers for the first time I will ask them to keep the fur on her butt short to try and stop poop getting stuck but what can I do in the mean time?

Thanks!
At 8 weeks, she is very young so her reaction to your cleaning her is not necessarily unusual. Mine did not like baths or the hair dryer or combing for that matter. Whatever my dogs did not like, I did ALOT. So, if they did not like their paws being touched or nails trimmed, I constantly touched their paws and pads until they no longer were annoyed by it. This has made visits to the vet and such much easier. I can't help you on what to do on preventing poop from sticking - it happens from time to time - we've got one with IBD so she gets alot of butt washes. I do not clip or trim the hair around the anus.
