| poop schedule I free feed my dog and was wondering if feeding at select times would also make her poop at certain times instead of random times? My little girl is so quick that by the time i see her squat she has already peed or she has started to poop a little but won't finish outsided and won't try to poop again for hours. But she doesn't give the usually dog warnings, she'll be running and playing with the cat or toys and next thing she is squatted. I do hope this is just a puppy fast of peeing and pooping so fast. I can usually get her to poop or pee and if lucky do both after waking her up and taking her straight outside but then after that it's a guessing game, and won't do nothing when i take her out but cuz she uses the potty so fast i can't really believe it. I mean i was right next to her, she squatted and in the amount of time it took me to reach for her she had already peed |

| Sam is free fed and he poops at at 530 or so in the morning then again about 430 or 5 in the afternoon. He doesnt poop 30 minutes after he eats, he poops when he goes from sleeping all night and in the afternoon. Now as far as pee'n goes, he uses the potty in the morning when he first gets up (he sleeps with me and doesnt get up during the night). He runs around and plays then he pee's in the afternoon then a couple times in the evening. Just be patient, you will get there.

| My Brandi is exactly the same way. You described her to a tee. I still haven't figure out how to train her to let me know when she has to go. I rely greatly on keeping rigid schedule. When I have to go to work, I feed her and take her out first thing in the morning. When I get home, I walk her again then I feed her. I then take her out for her last walk for the night. She is pretty good about not pottying at night. She can usually last from 10 until about 7 in the morning. On the weekends, I usually follow the same schedule except, I take her out around lunch time. I only feed her twice a day, in the morning and then again in the evening. If I deviate from this schedule even a little bit, she will have a accident inside. She just will not let me know when she has to peed so keeping her on a schedule is paramount. |

| LOL yea, i'll let her out in the mornings and at night when i get home from work and she does good outside. And then when i'm home i'll try to take her out every hour or so or if she kinda looks suspicious but usually just ends with us standing outside for like 10 mins LOL If she poops outside then i know i'm good on that for a while. What really gives me problems is she'll pee outside and then she can go for an hour or 2 without peeing or she could pee again 10 mins later but without warning LOL i'm sure she doesn't get all the pee out by the time i grab her but she won't finish outside and then it's a follow her the whole time and just for the whole cycle to repeat cuz she'll just be playing like crazy and just stop where she's at and squat LOL just have to keep at it i guess. we just got in from her pooping and peeing outside so were good for at least 10 mins HEHEHE |

| It does seem like it times them a while. Molly is pretty good about peeing on her pee pad, however, she does not always poop on her pad. I then find her "accidents". Today, she pooped on her pad and I really made a big thing out of it and then gave her a treat of canned food. Hopefully, a few times of that will help reinforce the good behavior.

| I free feed mine and they are pretty regular with their poo'ing...however with pee'ing there isn't any set schedule....Daizy is really good at asking...and Tulip will go everytime I take them...but hasn't figured out how to ask yet...and she's over 7 months old......not sure how old your baby is....but all I can say is it will take time and patience! Is she using the potty pads for urinating? Good luck...
