i would definitely check out all medical issues
but another thing to consider is that your pup may be afraid of the pee pad. did you punish (yelled at, smacked, nose rubbed, picked up aggressivly, etc)the pup when she was eatting poo? if so, was it around or on the pee pad???
dog think completely different than us. completley. if she was being punished on or around the pee pad, she DOES NOT have the cognitive understanding to know what she is doing wrong. the pee pad becomes a bad, scary area.
you said she knows she is doing wrong when she goes in other places in the house. dogs do not know this. she looks like she knows she is doing wrong because she is likely confused as to why you are getting angry at her and coward. she tries to go in different areas, but every time she goes anywhere, you punish her.
dogs are not people. they DO NOT have the understanding of what they are doing wrong. i am not a trainer, but i would look into spending time the pee pad to be a happy area again. lots of treats and praise and if she eats poop, she eats poop. in my opinion a poop eatter is the lesser of two evils over a pup that does their business around the house. |
