I am having the same problem. Bella is doing great with the peeing on the pads (only little accidents) but she won't poop on them. We have her puppy pads in a bathroom on the opposite side of the room with her food, and one puppy pad out in the living room. She won't go on them. I've learned that she usually poops about 10-15 minutes after she eats so I've tried staying in the bathroom with her afterwards, but she won't go (I've stayed for up to an hour). And as soon as she's let out, she'll go poop somewhere else. I've tried not staying in the bathroom with her, but she will just poop on the tile floor and not the puppy pad. If my fiance or I catch her while she's starting to squat, we'll move her to the puppy pad and then praise her for going there, but it doesn't seem to work!
Any more tips? |
