Hi,
I have a few questions. When do you stop feeding them at night. I stop feeding chester and chelsey both at 8:00 pm suggested by our vet and our breeder. No water not food. they may get treat at this time cause that is when we do training .
Chester and Chelsey nornally poop once or twice a day . only in the day time after they have eaten.
Chester does his business out side. Chelsey is still in training and is catching on very fast. She has rang the bell twice now to go outside.
chester still does not get that he should ring the bell.
Other question "Higgins is a prolific pooper." What type of food are your puppies eating , including teats chicken, wet or dry food.
wet food causes them to go to the bathroom more I find.
Do you feed them baby food , fruit, things of that nature.
If we feed Chester any thing other then his dog food and dog treats garenteed he will be pooping like crazy even have diarea sometime.
Chelsey on the other hand can eat anything.
Suggestions. Higgin mom, you may want to think about putting higgins in a crate or play pen at night... since that is when he poops the most. At least then you can go to one spot to pick up the mess.
Yesterday Chelsey and Chester went outside in the back- yard playing for 30 min. Then I let them in. Chelsey waited until she went in her creat to do # 2.
I told her "NO" ! in a very mean voice and picked her up and said outside and out she went. If your puppy is walking and pooping... if you can catch him, pick him up and his poop and puppy and put them out side. and Say outside our what ever command you use
Its a lot of work but you have to keep a very close eye on them... Walking around and picking up ther poop while they pop is saying its ok to do it here.
Now if it is after it happens it too late .
gee you guys are really good mom's I would have pulled my hair out if my puppy were pooping everywere. We may find number one sometimes. with Chelsey.. but walking in to a # 2 is no fun. |
