| Pee but wont poop on potty pad Tino is 3 months now and is doing well, only has a little separation anxiety with mommy when ever she leaves the room. But the bigger problem we are having is that he wont poo on the potty pad but he really has no problem pee on it. Tried to get a privacy potty thing for him but it was WAY TO BIG. Any recommendations for trying to get him on the pad, thanks |

| When I was pad training my pups and they pooped on the floor I would pick it up and put it on the pad then take the puppy to the pad all the time saying poo poo on the pad. They eventually got it, patience and consistency are key factors in pad training puppies.

| He is just now the age he should be leaving mom and now ready to really learn before that he really probably didn’t have a lot of control. You also could try putting his poo where you want him to go. If he has a favorite potty spot you could also put a pad there.

| 1. To get rid of separation anxiety, you could help him to build confidence and trust between you through lots of stimuli, such as petting, treats, and going outside 2. How do you introduce him to pee on the pads? Can you use the method again to lead him to poo? What's more, you could adopt the idea of matese (picking up the poo on the pads), as I also successfully taught my pup to poo on the pads by this way. Good luck to you |

| So glad I read this thread. This site is kind of overwhelming me a bit, Lol. I really like the idea of putting the poop on the pad. Coco seems to prefer the carpet verses her turf on the patio or a potty pad. She is at the age where I still can't take her outside for potty breaks, which is so frustrating. She has round 2 of her shots on Friday, but I can't remember if she needs all of the vaccines to go outside are just the first few rounds? I will definitely try moving the poop to see if that will encourage her. Just this morning, I took her out to the patio where she peed on the turf. Reluctantly, but she knows if she goes, we can go back inside. However, I unfortunately can't wait with her to poop because I have to get my daughters ready for school. Nor can I leave her outside because she will cry and the neighbors will complain. So of course, within 10 minutes of coming back inside, she poops on the carpet near the entry way hall. She's like a little poop ninja... knows exactly when to go without getting caught🙄🤬 |

| Every time she pees on the turf you should reward her with her most favorite treat, even a tiny Cheerio will do the trick and lots of praise in happy happy voice. If she poops on the turf do the same thing, make a big fuss lots of praise. Yorkies like to please their humans. Also, she is only 10 weeks old, they cannot hold their poop or pee for long periods.

| Thanks for all the advice! I have been praising with peeing on the turf and rewarding. I also moved some of the poop to the turf to let her know that is where is should go. But she still prefers to do it in places around the apartment where we can't see her doing it. I try to keep an eye on her, but I have other stuff to do, like making dinner for my children, going to the bathroom or getting some work done. This is why I want so desperately to keep her in her playpen, but the wailing just can't keep happening. I got the Bark Buddy yesterday... no real affect. And I got the smallest non shock collar I could find, but it's too big on her. I just think I am screwed for at least another month unfortunately. |

| Unfortunately potty training doesn't happen over night, with some yorkies it takes months. I personally prefer walking a dog opposed to using pads.There are definitely advantages to pad training, I just found scheduled walks ended any indoor accidents. With leash walking there is a schedule to be followed, dogs need schedules, they will hold pee and poo when they know they are going out. Right now she is a baby and needs all her vaccines before hitting the world of exciting smells so pad / turf training is a must. Keep moving the poop to the turf, this has to be consistent to work, but it will not happen in a day or two, may not happen in a week or two, but it will happen. I have worked and raised 9 puppies over my life time so I know what it's like to have a job and home responsibilities to. My puppies were 8 weeks old when I bought them, a lot of work but so rewarding in the end. You must have a lot of patience because things do not happen as fast as we would like them to. Hang in there mamma, she is still a wee lil baby. I would definitely NOT use a shock collar on your wee lil puppy.

| I'm sorry, where did I say I was using a shock collar??? I think you over looked the words "non-shock" collar. And of course I wouldn't do that to an animal or a child! I am starting to think folks just skim comments and not see all that is written. This is what I got: Our K9 Training Made Easy Ultrasonic Bark Collar for Small Dogs - No Shock, Pain Free Control Device https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BJGP1TL..._.4mSDbW064J75 And it doesn't fit anyway, so she won't be wearing it anyway, if that gives you piece of mind. Please don't criticize or shame me without understanding the facts. I have had a rough enough day. I don't need this from complete strangers. Thanks. |
