Pooping off the pad... Cisco is doing really well at whizzing (wee-wee-ing) on his pads with just a miss or 2 since I got him last saturday. Thing is, he has never pooped on a pad. He has never pooped in the same spot twice either. When i see him about to poop, i will rush to get him, say no, and place him on a pad, but then he holds it until he can 'sneak it out' when my attention is somewhere else. Is there something i should do that im unaware of? :rolleyes: TIA |
Same Problem I'm having the exact same difficulties with my 9 week old yorkie. Of course I don't expect for him to be completely house trained at this age, but he's pretty good about peeing on the pad. So why not number 2? I've noticed your post has been here for a while without any replies, I wish I had an answer for you. Maybe someone else knows what's going on, and how to correct this behavior? :confused: :aimeeyork |
maxi knows to wiz on her wee wee pad, but she can't poop on it either! i dont' know why that is... :confused: i've seen her poop on her pad about 3 times total and she is 10 months old. :( i really don't know what makes her poo on her pad. the few times she's done it i think it was a brand new pad.. when i try to lay a pad where she usually poops (in front of the fridge) she will go pee on it instead. :confused: |
my little Oakley has the same issue. he'll pee on the pad, step off it, then go find another place to poop. waiting to hear if any of you have tips! thanks in advance! |
I had the same issues with my Rocky, but then I switched to a litter box for his pooping and the wee wee pads for his peeing. (Not cost effective, but it seems to work.) After getting him used to the litter box (by taking him there the first few times I saw him poop), he never poops anywhere else (unless he has an upset stomach or the very rare accident). However, Rocky started having issues with the wee wee pad. While we are at home, he pretty much remembers to go on the wee wee pad. But when we are out of the house and he's in his play pen (kitchen blocked off with baby gate), he will without fail pee on the floor. Go figure! I think it's his way of getting back at me for keeping him in the kitchen and not being around ... I get bummed about it, but will keep on trying ... |
Welcome to the life of being owned and operated by a Yorkie :D I have 12 so believe me I sing the same blues. Do your Terrorist prefer to go #2 in the same spot everytime? I would be smarter than they by placing another pad there. If the poop at random, I'll have to get back with you when I invent the solution :confused: :eek: :D |
Chester does the same thing he is just over 3 yrs old and has pooped on a pad maybe three times, its like they cant poop and pee even close together unless there are alot of pads down. |
Cover your whole house with pads! lol Just kidding. I have 4 pups now, and they still poop and pee everywhere. I thought I was smart, I had their bed, then pee station, then play station. Welllll.... they get out of bed, walk out of the pee station, and pee and poo in the play station! No Idea. Not to mention, they think their pee pads are shredding items. lol |

but i do have great news since i posted the last post- He has been hitting the pad almost every time lately. I do have to coax him though...when he starts the 'poop sniff shuffle' off the pad i say "no." and point to the pad. When he gets to the pad I say "potty". He's even been pooping on the pad when i go out of the room (with a couple exceptions of coarse :rolleyes: ) |

My girls have two pads....one for peeing and one for pooping. I know it seems like that wont make a difference..but it really does. For whatever reason they dont want to poop in the same place they pee! I also have to tell you that since I switched to the washable pads....it has been WONDERFUL! No shredding....no leaking....and no misses!!! Worth every penny!! |
Where did you get the washable pads? |
I'm interested in the washable pads too, don't recall seeing any at any of my local stores. Also, what do you use for litter box traing? You don't use cat litter do you? Or do you? :) I am interested in that! I heard that you can make your own indoor poo-poo spot by making wood or using a plastic (big) litter box pan and planting sod, grass, etc in it. I heard this is good for those with limited yard space and for just about anyone (reinforces the idea of going in the same spot outside too). Anyone tried that? Jenn & Mojo |
Too funny, but not funny LOL!!! All 3 of mine do the same thing. Bounce never poops on the potty pad, he poops wherever his little heart desires. Romeo & Isabella have pooped on the potty pad but not very often. At least they poop on the tile close to the potty pad well 90% of the time. Oh well, you gotta love them. I don't mind, I just hate for others to see. I'm thinking can't you do that when others aren't watching LOL!!!!!!!!!!! |
My Zoe has been an angel to potty train. I feel like I didn't even train him. He pees and poops on one pad. However, I can not get him to come, sit and stay for anything! |
I got the litter box and litter from Petco (SecondNature brand). I read somewhere that you're not supposed to use cat litter because dogs will eat the litter since it's smallb ... and the cat litter is harmful if ingested. Mind you, Rocky chews on the litter pellets even now but it's supposedly not as harmful because it's recycled paper. Rocky will NOT pee on the pad. Everyday, I get home and wipe up the big pee puddle on the kitchen floor. It's starting to get so tiring. I ordered some washable pee pads from www.piddlepads.com yesterday and will try that when it gets here. I just hope he uses that because I don't know what else to do. |
I use a washable pee pad and I got it from Petsmart, it's very convenient. I wish he used it more though!! |
This is one of the mysteries of the yorkie! They just won't poo and pee in the same place. Chewy won't but now that I am starting to make him go outside we have less problems with Big Daddy finding poos on the floor and getting mad! Good luck. |
Lily is 12 wks old and we've had her about 2 wks. I've been trying to get her to use puppy pads. I'm home most of the time so I've been trying to watch her as closely as I can, she's was gated in the family room, but chewed a hole through the gate and is now able to use her hole like a doggie door. I think she's been pretty good about peeing on the pad (I look around the house for puddles), but not pooping on the pads. I'll put her on the pad and tell her to go potty and she'll get off and go in the corner or the other room. Sometimes she goes pee on the rug or floor too. I just bought the scented pads that are supposed to smell like grass to encourage them to go. My question is once they start going around the house will they go on the pads? For those of you who've been successful with training did you use any particular type of pad? How long did it take? How did you train? I've been just using the pads and figure once she gets the hang of using the pads regularly I'll put them in the box. Any help is greatly appreciated. |
same thing with maisy but it's outside. She will pee in the grass but NEVER in 9 months has she pooped in the grass...she always saves that until we come back inside on goes on or near her pad... |
I have the same problem, Hayley will pee in the grass but will NOT poop!!! Wonder whats up with these furbabies? :confused: |
Same here. Freaking shoot me. I think the first problem would be to say "No" when they're pooing - then they think it's bad or wrong and they hide from you when they go the next time. Stewie was going #2 in the back of my closet for about a week until I finally realized it. He was hiding from me for sure. |
