I wish I could get her to poop and pee on same pad. I think I will line the floor with pee pads when I go to bed so she can go from one to another in middle of night. LOL. She goes outside both with no problem, but pooping takes her forever outside to figure out where she wants to go, sniffing everywhere....

My Yoshi does the same thing. I line up 3 pads overnight so he can go potty without making a mess. It took him about 2 months to learn to go outside. But he takes walks with our Lab, Duke...so I think he might have learned that it's okay to go potty outside from seeing Duke do it.

Lol, Most pups are!

So, are you saying that he peed on the pad (out side) not on the ground?

If you really want him to potty out doors than you cant take the pee pad outside with you. The whole idea is that he gets use the the "Grass" which is usually what causes the problem with the pups at such a young age. Have you ever seen a pup tippy toe through the grass. Well thats why! (its different than what they are use to and feels funny on their paws).

You should put the poo on the ground where you want him to go regularly! When he peed on the pad outside, he wasn't able to leave his scent behind. Which is the idea behind putting his poo there. Dogs are creatures of habit.... they tend to want to mark what is theirs. Even my three girls will sniff the poo or pee spot from earlier in the day or of the others and will pee right on top of it.

So, try on the grass/nature only and see if it helps. Remember to take him to the same spot each time where you left his poo. It wont be anything quick it will take time but he will get it.

IF you want your little one to go potty outside, you need to give them something to get excited about. There is nothing more exciting to a pup than the scent of poo. Next time your pup goes potty inside the house, pick it up and take it outside and place it in the potty area for later when you take your pup outside to go potty. Take him to that same spot where you put the poo and with encouraging words and your potty command tell him to go potty! Once he gets use to his own scent and after you have done the potty dance (jk) and praised him for a job well done he will get the hang of it.

Add a tiny treat (a cheerio, green bean or pineapple) as a reward and he'll want to do what ever it take to get that treat, faster. Sometimes you dont even need a treat (food) a clicker will work just as well

For more info on training your new pup your more than welcome to look over my site for training tips that I have used to train all of my pups with great success!!



Training Tips - Dawn's Yorkies Ohio

She said it in a nutshell Strudel's breeder had pad trained him so when I got him he was like "New mommy....what is this green stuff ( grass)"

We went from 45 min outside potty excursions every 2 hours to now - pee and poo in under 5 minutes ANYHERE ANY TIME! Don't stress, your dog can sense it and please have patience, remember even you werent potty trained over night

Also crating will help if done correctly
