For some reason she seems to think the pad in the kitchen is quite comfy. Even if she has peed on it she will lay on it to hang out, take her toys there to play, and even carries her treats there to eat

should the pads be next to eachother? i've tried to put the clean "poo" pad where he normally poo's but he ends up just peeing on it. maybe i can try putting two pads next to eachother?

i have the same problem too. but after reading this thread, it seems like everyone is telling their story but none of us really have a solution.

a friend suggested that i have an area sectioned off with the floor covered with pee pads. he has to poop on it. then i'll let him out after he's done it. this way, it gives him the idea that he must poop before coming in the house and play. my question is though, what if he doesn't poop for hours? that means i don't get to play with him for hours until he poops. I guess i have to be trained as well? haha. i'm concerned that if i let him out before pooping, he'll be confused.

So we did just what you are doing, watching him like a hawk, always taking him to the pad when he looks like he has to go, them lots of praise. It took a couple of months, accidents became less and less, now he is over a year old and completely trained on the pads. I love it, I live on the third floor and he goes whenever he wants. I had a friend stay with me recently with a yorkie and he rings a bell when he has to go outside, and she was going outside a lot only to find out he didn't need to go. I never have to worry about getting home at a certain time to let him out, and it is great if we are traveling or on a boat. I hope it works out for you!

How do you train a dog to ring a bell when they have to go to the bathroom? That is awesome and very intelligent!

I don't know if this will help but its worth a try. The pee pads smell like pee that is why they always want to pee on them. Maybe once they get used to using the bathroom on pee pads you can start putting down newspapers that way it they are used to going on paper/pads and maybe they'll poop on the newspaper. Maybe its a stupid dea but worth a try. And it saves money on pee pads. lol I also heard if you put their poop on it, it will help.

*sigh*

This has become a ritual...his holding his poop all day until he gets out into the living room....he now has pooped in 11 different spots in the living room.

sorry to hear that. But my coffee is doing better now. I watch him after he eats. As soon as he shows sign of poop, I take him out to where the pads are and wait. While at night, I section off a part of the house and place the pad on every square inch on the floor so he has to poop on it. He did. And I think he's slowly beginning to get it. Hope these methods will work for you.
