My new 4 year old Yorkie Hi everyone,
I'm sure there have been similar posts about this one but i saw that a lot of them referred to puppies. Lucy (my yorkie) is 4 years old. She is the sweetest thing on the planet. We got her 2 weeks ago. She knows how to pee on the wee pad, but she poops on 3 different spots. On the wee pad and on 2 locations outside the wee pad where she has pooped before. This is hard wood floor and i've cleaned it with the appropriate doggie products several times but she always leaves us a little present on these 2 extra spots. What should i do? I cant watch her all the time, does it makes sense to reprimand her after the fact a few minutes later? Will she know? I praise her every-time she goes on the pad and give her a treat. Should we get a crate and try that?
Thanks I appreciate any help.
Still learning,
