| Not Pooping on the Paper Hi everyone. I have read that some people have had this problem but, I just don't know what to do anymore. Lucy is really good at going pee on the pads but, she does not go poop. She always poos on the same spot in the kitchen. How do I get her to use the pads for this. I rarely catch her in the act because she always goes when we are at work or overnight when we are sleeping. So, it is hard to reprimand her and show her the right spot. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks |

| Why don't you try moving a pad to where she poops...and give GREAT treats for getting it on there....when she seems to have it down slowly starting moving the pad a tad over (over a couple of days) until it is next to the one where you want her to pee? Finally at 5 months I have Maximus pooing on the pad!!

| I will deifinatley try it (thanks for posting it in the other thread). I did mean to ask you a little more about it though. The pineapple: fresh or canned and a very small amount or a whole chuck? The meat tenderizer: On their food (how much) or on their poop? Thanks! |

| I gave the cubed canned pieces and I gave 1 or 2 pieces...the meat tnderizer I believe yoiu are supposed to put in the food, lol, I was pouring it on the poop BUT he did stop eating it...but I heard that is you put 3 pinches it makes the poop taste nasty..but Maximus didn't want to go near it with the tenderizer on it either..lol, BUT I guess as a preventative so you don't have to be on the lookout every second is give it with his kibble!! Also I heard tobasco sauce on the poop and after trying to eat it a couple of times..they will get the idea!!

| Fosters & Smith sells "Forbid", a powder that you mix in with their food. Kipper used to eat his poop all the time, for months and months it was soooo frustrating! But I tried the forbid and after one week he stopped! Good Luck!

| Thanks again. I have to do something to stop this! Especially when they have this 'mushy soft ice cream' poop. When I catch them licking it up, I want to vomit. And then I don't want kisses which I love... I am going to first try the pinneapples and then go from there. I'll let ya know when I too have 'reformed' poop eaters or as my boyfriend says reformed *#@% lips P.S. I tried the forbid for about a week and it was every other day that they not eat it and then I was told by a firend who works at a Vet office that it doesn't work! I still have some packets. I might give it another chance if the pinneapples or meat tenderizer doesn't work... Last edited by TLC; 07-14-2005 at 09:40 AM. Reason: adding on about forbid |

| The only problem I see is that you have her runnnig freely around the house. Crate her and train her to go where you want her to go. I have had Katia for 5 1/2 weeks and accidents are a thing of the past. Your dog is not ready to be left out alone all the time.

| I don't let her run around freely in the house when we are not there. She is confined to the kitchen. I think it is just a matter of her not liking to poop where she pees. I'm just going to keep trying to praise her a lot when I do see her got on the papers. Thanks for the advice everyone. |

| Not Pooping on the Paper I have the same problem with 4 month old Buffy! She "usually" pees on the pad but won't go near it when she has to poo. I put her on it when I see her pooing and she freaks out and runs away. She prefers more secluded or quite spots. I've put pads down where she likes to poo but if there's a pad in her pooing spot she goes somewhere else. Any suggestions? Maybe I should put newspaper in her pooing spot(s) so she differentiates them from the peeing/pad spots? HELP! |

| The pinneaples did not work for TJ and Roxy either. I am going to try the meat tenderizer. I read somewhere to use a No Salt meat tenderizer, has anyone heard of such a thing and what is the brand and where did you get it or see it? Thanks! |
