We also had the same problem with our Zuzi at the age of 3 to 4 months. She would poop on her training pad and them bring it to her bed. I was not sure if she was eating it or playing with it though.
Anyway, at that time I didn't know the trick with the pineapple or with the SEP.
So each time I would see a poop in her bed I would ask her "What is that" or "Why did you do that" with the proper voice and intonation so she would understand that she has done something bad. I would also not give her attention and treats. Sometimes I was taking her food away for a while, too.
It took a while, for a month or two but finally, she realized that this is something bad and she stopped. We don't have this problem anymore.
I watch her when we are outside and when she sees a poop, she goes and smells it for one second and then she just leaves. |
