Great advice Gracie. Happy Thanksgiving! This is my first post since i am new to this site. My seven month old terrier Bella will not poo on a pad that is soiled either. When the pad is clean she will poo with regularity, however, if we forget to change the pad she will find a spot close to her puppy apt. to perform the task. Urinating on the pad has been perfected but number 2, is different story. Bella has the run of the house. As for the tendency to become an "insane rascal."
We too experience bi-polar Bella on occaission. Bella will attack our ankles when we walk from room to room or feast on our hands when lying on the couch. Nevertheless, a stern "NO", and replacing the hand for a chew toy or suitable bone (not raw hide) quickly stops the aggression. But it is comical to see a perfectly calm beauty turn into a crazed mountain lion in a matter of seconds.
