Yeah, i'm sure she was in the crate. Actually, the breeder told us to never put her in the crate in the car. So I doubt it was in a crate and that explains why she didn't eat it. JM2C

My Yorkie thank you very much is trained to go outside. And just what actions did you take to correct this behaviour. First before answering look up the threads here on What can be done. But first and foremost if I had a dog that ate poop, I would make sure I would pick up poop immediately.

100% trained? Don't believe it. I don't think anyone here would believe you either. But like I said, I don't mind that as much as the fact that she eats it. The problem with trying to pick it up right away is that you can't always do it, cause she manages to poop in the crate or playpen when you aren't looking, aren't around or at night. Of course I tried to take away every poop I could, but its not as easy as you make it sound to catch her in time.

I have never had a dog that pooed in crate, but I do know sometimes that happens. Usually because the owner has left the dog too long in crate, or there was a tummy upset

She was only in the crate for the night, otherwise she was in a large playpen. I also took her outside probably every half hour. But she didn't go there, she preferred to do it inside and then eat it.

Quite simply you didn't have enough gumption and caring to deal with the problem, to research solutions, and to spend the time needed to correct this behaviour.

I tried, but its too much to keep up with when nothing seems to be working. Its bad enough she can't be housebroken.

Three wks is literally a blink of the eye, in the raising of a good dog.

This is very true, but I think its enough time for me to know that Yorkies are not for me.
