Hi Jetess,

We have the same problem with our puppy - she's 18 weeks and we've had her about 6 weeks. I've used "DETER" from Petsmart and it seemed to help some. The best answer I've found is to watch her like a hawk and pick it up as quickly as possibe. It also helped when I started giving her a treat for going potty. Now as soon as she's done she runs to the kitchen looking for the treat (must taste better than the poop) and while she's busy with the treat I clean up.

I think they outgrow it - sure hope so!

Have a wonderful holiday!
