Hello all--

I'm hopling you can help me out with something that is driving myself and my wife absolutely nuts!

We've had Hulk for 7 months now (got him at 9 weeks). He's almost 100% trainied on pee pads (one accident outside the pads every two-three week), but he's only 50% pooping on the pads.

The funny thing is, he's not pooping anywhere in the house he can, there's a particular place he likes to go (on the hardwood floors in front of the bookcases).

We've tried blocking it off, we've tried making sure he's got clean potty pads (he's pretty finnicky if his "grass" is too wet), etc. He just loves to go back to that spot and poo. Every other time, he does go on his pad.

We're thinking we may need to start over with the potty training, but wondered if anyone had seen something similar with this "compulsion" to poo in one place.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
