| Cookie ate her poop... Hello everyone! .. How is everyone today?... Cookie is now 3 months old.. I bought her about 2 weeks ago, .. As of right now, when I take Cookie out to go "pee" she does it right away, especially when she needs to go .. but as for "poop" not so much, she tends to spend her out time playing rather then doing her business.. it usually takes at least 20 minutes for her to "poop" which, I dont mind ... shes getting better, because she hasnt been pooping in the house, the last time that she did, and I caught her in the act, I picked her up, said in a loud voice "no", gave her a light pat on her butt, and took her outside.. and she hasnt been pooping around the house, but at times.. she has accidents in her cage, and for the first time today, she ate her poop... Will she be okay after eating her own poop?... Will she do it again? .. What can I do to prevent her from doing it again?... |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | She ate the evidence. Re-enforcing good behavoir works better than punishing for bad and there is not need to ever hit a dog. You can feed her pineapple to deter her from eating it again.

| Thank you for the advice! Yes We've stopped punishing her.. as we are teaching her better behaviors, and reinforcing her good behavior. |

| cut up pineapple into tiny pieces put on cookie sheet and freeze then put in a baggie and pull out one for each meal for the week and put in baggie in fridge and give a tiny piece with each meal - it is a natural enzyme and is bromelain so it changes the flavor of the poop so they will not eat it |
