| my Charmin is eating used TP.. : P Ok so my little baby's name is Charmin (like the TP), she is about 10wks old and *surprise* she likes to eat the toilet paper out of my trashcan. i am asleep when she does this and i don’t know what to do. when I get up, she has made snow on my carpet. i put a lid on the trashcan but i caught her moving it with her nose when i was in the shower. i work third shift from 12-4 so i can be gone for up to 6 hours. she sleeps while i'm gone and is ready to play when i get home. i have a hard time keeping her in her create when im asleep because she whines and yips until i let her out. she isnt a third shift sleeper and i feel bad keeping her in her tent until i get up. also she potties in the house. i take her everywhere i go and when i go to me mom's to visit she will potty outside with no problem. my boyfriend has a yorkie so i take mine over there to get some social interaction and she will potty outside at their house too if we take her out regularly but she will not potty outside of my apartment. she just thinks its play time. i dont get it? i've tried allot of things to train her because i really don’t want her to be an untrained brat so please some one help!!!! |

| hahaha sorry, but I couldn't help but chuckle that your baby's name is Charmin and it likes eating used toilet paper?!?! this post just made my day! anyway, if she is eating used TP, you probably still have to keep her under a lot of supervision (is she still a young pup)? maybe when you can't supervise her, she should be in a larger play pen and not getting a free rein of the house yet...i'm not sure what else...i hope someone else has better suggestions! good luck! |

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | We solved that problem by getting a trash can with a lid for the bathroom.

| Welcome to YT. Mine have a fascintion with toilet paper and any other type of paper they can find. Sorry I can't help you with the potty problem. Does she have free run of the yard when she's at your moms and boyfriends? Maybe if you have to keep her on a harness at home she doesn't like it.

| well, sometimes i blow my nose with TP 'cause it's much softer. then i toss it in the trash rather than flush the T and waste water and make the water bill go higher...LOL i'm a loser. |

| Aaaah. That used. I am relieved. Okay, how about not flushing the T until the T needs flushing? |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | since she's only 10 weeks old i wouldn't be giving her free reign of the house while your sleeping. I would put her in her crate in another room of the apt and ignore her. Or you can buy an ex-pen which is bigger then a crate but still confining to leave her in when you cannot watch her. Also close the bathroom door and any other door to rooms you don't want her in.

My solution would be to flush the paper or put the trash can on the counter.
