Do you use 1 pee pad or 2? Belle has a pee pad to pee on but she has to have a seperate one to poop on. From several posts of here and else where it seems like several dogs are like this. It took me awhile to figure this out for Belle but we finally did. I leave water out all day for Belle. She has free feeding kibble and needs water after she eats some and also after she chews on her bullie sticks. She sleeps in her crate at night so she doesn't get water then and does fine.
Hope I helped some. It takes some time to figure these little ones out. Be sure and reinforce the going pee or poop on the pad with a little treat each time. They relate to treats quite well.
