Yorkie puppy eating her own poop.. and not going potty in her wee wee tray!!

[BabieChloe]

I have a wee wee pad in her pen which she goes potty on.. but outside of the pen is a problem. For outside of her pen I bought a tray to make the pad more noticeable.. but she completely ignores it and doesn't understand that it is for going potty.. so she goes potty everywhere else in the house! The tray is also too big to fit into her pen. I need help, I don't know how to get her to associate the tray with going potty?

On another note.. while I was out, I watched her on camera and I could clearly see there was poop on her pad in her pen.. and then I also clearly saw her eating it.. and the entire poop vanished. I have also not been seeing poop in the morning as much or when I come home lately. What to do?

Feed her a tablespoon of crushed pineapple a day. It worked great to stop Laddy eating his poo.

If I would stop the pineapple.. does she start to eat the poop again? I don't see why she would find it appetizing though, makes me cringe thinking about her chewing that.

No it took about a week of feeding it to Laddy and he never bothered it again. Pineapple is still a favorite treat for him once in a while .

Ok, thank you! I will be buying some pineapple tomorrow. I hope after that I can start seeing poop again in her pen haha.
