Question pooping everywhere

I have a 3 month old yorkie. He has mastered going pee on his potty pads but he still poops anywhere he pleases... Even on his sleeping blankets. I tried putting two potty pads down thinking maybe he wanted to use one for pee and one for pooping but he just uses both for peeing. No matter how much I work with him on pooping he does it everywhere and then eats it. I have even tried picking up the poop and putting it on the pads thinking maybe he would understand then but he doesn't. I praise him and give him treats for going potty where he needs to but he just isn't getting it.

We have pretty much given up on getting our Higgins poop-trained. Welcome to the club. He's not so bad about the peeing, but he just poops on the run anywhere. Like you, we praise him to the skies when he does it outside, but we just give up on the inside poops. Mostly he just goes before we get up in the morning so we only have to go on poop patrol once a day. And fortunately, they are nice dry poops that don't stick to anything and don't have much smell to 'em either. We think he knows perfectly well what he's doing and is just being a defiant little stinker......but he's soooooo cute.......good thing, too!

My Dolce NEVER and I mean NEVER fails to get the poop on the pad. I think its because I watched her like a hawk when she was out of her playpen. Whenever I saw her doing the "poopy dance" I would immediately put her on a wee wee pad...then she had no choice but to circle around the pad and go there. It took a couple of times, but she DEFINITELY got the hang of it. So maybe if you just watch her and see when she has to go, they usually go in a circle and sniff around, then u can just grab her, but dont scare her, and place her on the wee wee pad. Hopefully she'll come to associate the wee wee pad with both peeing and pooping. Good luck and let me know how it turns out!!

Higgin's Mom-That Higgin's sure is a little rascal, but so darn CUTE!!!

Higgins and Rudy must be related Rudy will be a year on the 24th, he has got the pee pee down but poops where he pleases. Like Higgin's mom said thank God it is hard and doesn't make a mess. Maddie will do what ever it takes to get me attention to let her out. I am hoping one day he gets it and starts going out to poop all the time. They are always where I am so when I don't see Rudy he is up to no good Rudy is all boy and has a stubborn personallity, some night I have to get a flashlight to find him in the backyard because he doesn't come when I call him. He is a little toot and thank God for him he is so cute because there is some nights when I have to get him from behind the hedges and I could strangle his little neck and there is Maddie on the Patio thinking what is he doing it is time to go to bed. They keep my life interesting and I love them to death.................Cindy

Thanks for the replies. Toby's poop is hard and doesn't stick to anything either. His preferred spot to go potty is in the kitchen so that is a plus since it's not on the carpet. And I agree thank goodness they are soo darn cute because there are times I could just scream at him but he gives me the puppy dog eyes and I'm over it. My fiance doesn't think he's so cute though, but he's just jealous because I give Toby more attention than I do him. Also, Toby doesn't care too much for him anyway. He's a momma's boy. Funny story though... the second night we had him he slept in bed with us and in the middle of the night he pooped on Randy's pillow so the next night I put him in the kitchen with a child's gate up and that little rug-rat jumped over the 2 foot childs gate and started terrorizing the living room so I took him outside and he went potty then I put him in bed with us because I needed to get some sleep for the night.. Guess what the first thing he did was????? He went pee on Randy's pillow... So needless to say... he's not sleeping with us anymore until he is COMPLETELY potty trained

That is toooo funny!! Methinks that Toby isn't very fond of your boyfriend!! My son has a Border Collie [Missy] that is more spoiled than Toto and is soooo jealous ... it's a wonder she isn't green!!! Toto senses her hostility, I guess, and every chance she gets, she gets Missy's favorite Frisbee ... climbs over in it and pees!!! It has to be a revenge thing!! One thing for certain ... I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of a Yorkie's revenge!!!

Boy dogs try to show the boy men in our lives just WHO the Alpha Dog really is! When we first got Higgins, Don got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and put his foot in his nice warm slippers. One slipper was really nice and warm......and gooooooey.......and his foot squished in it all the way to the toe. It was 3 AM, but I think Don woke the whole campground up! Higgins had left him a little present in his slipper. I thought it was hilarious, but Don didn't.

Talk about revenge: Pogo was on a leash and we were talking to friends in the camground (Don & Lavonne, Bettyanne -- you may remember them). They had their Lhasa Apso on a leash, too. Pogo got really nasty with their dog and snapped at him, so I yelled at Pogo good and told him in no uncertain terms how BAD he was. Then I went on with my conversation....until.....everyone starting laughing and I felt something funny, and I looked down......and there was my beloved dog Pogo lifting his leg on MY LEG!!!! The only time he has ever done it. I had to go change clothes, socks, shoes.......and I swear he smiled.

Have you guys tried to take your Yorkies out for long walks (before they have pooped for the day). If you can get them accustomed to pooping outside, it's a start. :P

I don't wanna walk him at 4 AM!!! At least that's when he poops the most, I think. We can NEVER catch him at it inside. As for the rest of the day? He has a doggie door and goes in and out freely. But the doggie door is closed at night.

Tay794,

I have the opposite problem! She will poo outside or on the puppy pad, but pees all over the floor!

Just keep working with him, and you have to 'catch' him in the act to correct him. It literally takes Mei Mei to pee in 2 seconds, so it is hard for me to catch her.

Poop once a day???? ROFLMAO!!!! Higgins is a prolific pooper. Higgins beans all over the place! Mostly they are waiting for me when I get up in the morning. He always does a "dot" (short one) and a "dash" (long one), and there are usually three or four of each spread out all over the house, though he has developed some regular spots. And he will move that spot, if I put a pad over it, and go somewhere else. He will pee on a pad 99.44% of the time, but he never poops on a pad. I just grab up a lot of toilet paper and head out on poop patrol in the morning.* Then we're good to go the rest of the day with no problems. It really isn't a big problem, since his beans are so neat.

*I must be fair here.....Higgins dad picks more of 'em up than I do.....amazes me that he does that chore......But he loves that little dog like nothing I've ever seen! I mean, he really loves that little kid more 'n he loves me! But please remember that Don "doesn't like dogs."

Mary Ellen!!!! Dots & dashes???? It's "Morse Code"!!! Higgins is writing you notes!!! Next time ... read it and see what he is trying to tell you!!! On second thought, if that were Toto's message ... we might not want to know what she is trying to tell us!? That's just tooooo funny ... for the life of me, I cannot picture "Don the Dog Hater" picking up morning poop!!
