Poopy training

[YorkieAunt]

I really need some advice with the potty training. Tessa will pee on the pee pads or outside without a problem. She is , however, pooping in the house and usually somewhere out of sight. I have never yelled at her or punished her for not pooping on the pad so I don't understand why she is hiding her poops I have been trying to train her with a bell but she usually just follows my older dog outside. I lavish praise on her when she does go outside and she gets a treat. I just don't understand the pooping thing?

Hi there Well, I can see your problem. If your not telling her NO firmly and then showing her where she needs to go??? How is she suppose to know not to poop in the house? You dont have to yell at her, but you do need to be firm with her during the training process... Or else, she's gonna take it as she can do as she pleases. She's hiding her poops because she knows shes suppose to go outside They are very smart, and with another dog in the home to lead by example...she's definately aware of where she needs to go. You have to be dominant or she will Hope this helps

You have to be consistent with her. Maybe pick up some of the poop and put it on the wee wee pad.

I have picked it up and put it on the wee pad and showed it to her. Then made a huge deal and said good girl. She seems to be better now. I think maybe it has been because there has been so much going on over the holidays. I am consistant and we will see how it goes. After all, she is only 15wks old so it might be because I allow her too much slack..
