I have a Yorky puppy who has just turned 6 months old- I purchased her from a breeder at 4 months old and was told that she was 'partially wee-wee pad trained'. We also have two other dogs (both Shorkies) who are 2 and 3 yrs old.

Due to the small size of all three dogs use wee-wee pads for them to do their business. The puppy has learned to use the pads 'occasionally', but sometimes does her business right on the floor. Another bad habit she has is eating the feces of the other dog (not her own). We tried putting meds in the food of the other dogs to keep her away but to no avail. We try to be vigilant when the other two dogs go and pick up the feces ASAP, but the puppy is sometimes quicker than we are!!!

We would appreciate any advice regarding the feces-eating problem...also do dogs outgrow this?
