    Willow is nearly 12 weeks now , I am out of house 12 to 2.30 , I give her lunch at 12 then go but am now coming back to poo and wee! She's in a pen not a crate been fine before ! Any ideas ? Changing her food at the mo to rc and had her 2nd injections on Monday. She uses paper to wee on at night but won't poo in pen she cries and we let her out.

    Help please

    Hi there,
    My first suggestion would be to look at adjusting her mealtimes... if you are feeding her just before you leave, then the chances are that about twenty minutes later she really needs to go and you're just not there to let her out... Could you shunt lunch forwards so that you have a good half hour after she has eaten before you have to leave???

    I find that with Charlie too and have to make sure he eats well before I have to go out...he's a veritable poop machine!

    Dex was 5 months when we got him but our Breeder said to try him for the toilet still half an hour after every meal ,he always went so I think as said already adjusting her meal times will solve this

    She's always had lunch at 11.30/12 never a problem before ? Any other ideas ?

    … or give her a later breakfast and then give her lunch when you come back?

    what about ditching "the paper to wee on" at night too - aim to encourage all toileting outside rather than sanctioning an inside habit?
