Another thing to try to correct this situation would be to grab a small toy and redirect her interest to it by tossing it in the air, as she is doing with her poo, lots of praise when she shows interest in the toy.
Thinking too (probably too much, lol) she may be mimicking YOU, if she sees you cleaning up after her. I'd throw a ball or toy to get her going away from the pad so she doesn't witness you picking up any poo. |
Hmm had not thought about that one because she does have a sensitive side and will hide if you say she is bad so maybe by putting it under toys, herself and her bed she is hiding it hmm because we have even found it under the puppy pad.
