Not Pooping on the Paper

[chanin111]

So glad I don't have the issue of eating the poo. UGhghg But, she is just like the others in that she won't poo on her pad. She doesn't even go to one particular place. She has a few favorite rooms.

My trainer recommends hooking their leash to your belt loop so you cn alway monitor and then you will always catch the potty dance and take them to the right place. it should only take a couple of days of this to work.

I think it's the pad thing (and I've heard that too). Chloe does the same thing. Also, when she poos outside, she (just started this) goes on the patio. When she goes inside, it's beind the furniture. If she pees inside (very rarely) she goes on paper (like if we leave the newspaper on the floor).

Baxter was paper trained by the breeder when I got him and he did the same thing. Instead of this, I crate trained him (well, I kept him in a crate at night and when we were gone) and he doesn't do the same things that Chloe does.

Someone had a post on here once talking about pad training and going outside. She mentioned that you shouldn't do both because then you get your dog going poo behind furniture and on rugs (and patios) like Chloe does. She goes outside, but during the day, I keep her in a room with a pad down.
