So.......sorry to sound crude but there have been a couple of mornings where we have come down to find no poo on puppy pads but a few "poo marks".the big question is........is our puppy eating his own poo????????I have read about this and puppies do it.the thought of it horrifies me.
Re: Toilet Issues I`m afraid that this is a very common thing, gross though it might seem to us as more sophisticated beings Its something that most grow out of, thank goodness . Do you use Puppy Pads all the time ? I would seriously think of not using them as it can confuse pups , giving them permission to poop indoors and then having to be trained all over again , really its far better to take the bull by the horns and start the outside wee and poop straight away, it may take a while but you only have to do it the once
Re: Toilet Issues hi there.no we just put a couple down at night.during the day he goes outside but during the night we have always left his crate door open in his pen.something we thought long n hard about but we decided to do it.he is very good n will wee n poo on pads overnight.
Re: Toilet Issues Poo eating is one of the drawbacks of leaving the puppy loose overnight I'm afraid. It is highly likely that that is what is happening. You may be able to get him to poo outside before bed-time and not overnight by moving his mealtimes earlier and getting up earlier. It is worth the effort as poo-eating is a difficult habit to break.
