Wow, I'm so glad you're here! I've been trying to get to talk to a trainer on Piddle Place, we just got the indoor toilet, and I had a million questions. We've been using the Piddle Place for about, mmm, maybe 4 days, I want to say, not really sure, but I wanna say under a week. He's getting it that he's supposed to piddle on the Piddle Place and he get's a treat. He's very food motivated. and I thought we were going to transition him to the larger part of the house as he is in an XPEN, but yesterday, he made poop on the floor, NEXT to the Piddle Place. He urinates so much more often than he poops, and I catch him more frequently when he urinates (also, I think he fake pees
), that I think he doesn't know he's supposed to poop on the Piddle Place as well as urinate. I think he pooped on the floor on purpose, because he doesn't remember the infrequent times I caught him in the act of pooping on the Piddle Place and he got a treat. Actually, I'm wondering now if I EVER caught him when he was pooping and then gave him a treat for it. I might not have. I don't give treats unless I catch them in the act of pooping or peeing and then I reward them with praise, kisses and a treat. But I think I just clean up the poop without rewards because I didn't see him do it. In any case, do you have any suggestions about what I should do? Thanks, Shellie
