Takes FOREVER to potty! Maddie is 10 weeks old and I am training her to potty outside. She is actually not doing as bad as I thought she would but it takes her FOREVER to potty! She will pee within 5 minutes but when it comes to pooping she just sniffs around for at least 20+ minutes. I wouldn't mind it if I only had to take her out a couple times a day, but taking her out 2 or so times in the middle of the night is a little overwhelming, and I also do not feel very safe outside by myself at that hour (I'm a worrier! lol). Any advice would be great! I already give lots of praise afterwords. Thanks! |
:wavey: Hi and :welcome4: to Yorkie Talk. I really wish I could help you but...............my Abby does the same thing sometimes. It doesn't matter what I say to her, "potty now or hurry". It just doesnt matter. |
I have 2-1/2 yr old female who does the same thing most of the time. It does get tiring. Are you crate training? If you are, just put her back in her crate for awhile and take her outside again and just keep doing that till she gets the hint. She'll learn quickly that when she potties right away, she gets to stay out of her crate and play. Also, how about a tiny treat when she does go? Sometimes that helps to motivate them. Good luck!!!:) |
When mine were small, exercise is the key to pooping! Walk them as fast as they can go (up & down driveway or around the house or backyard) I promise it won't take long & they'll go. |
