I had the same problem with Little Man. He's my brothers dog and I was doggie sitting for about 5 months. My brother took him back last month, but when he started saying with me he wouldn't pee or poop on the pad. I seen where he peed I just put a pad down (I didn't clean it up. I have linolum floors so it wasn't bad.) and he started peeing there. Pooping was a little more difficult. He would go where ever he wanted. I started picking him up and putting him on the pad. When I seen him starting to go I would say Hey and take him to the pad (I didn't yell at him). He finally learned to go on the pad. Sometimes he moves before he's done, so he still has a small problem. My brother took him back after I got him trained convenintly![]()
. But I'm looking for me a little dog now because I miss having Little Man around. Hope this helps a little
bit. By the way I worked all day and he was here by himself most of the time and he had full run of the trailer.

They do. Mine is 9 weeks and he goes outside in the daytime. At night he
will use the pads if he has to. He does not run the house when we are home.
Of course he does not leave my side either LOL. I am lucky enough that
between my hub and I there is always someone here. If not then he is
penned. A schedule is of utmost importance

Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Re: Question about housetraining
I am still having the same problem with my almost 3month old, Marco. He pees
on the pads religiously..
and poops on them only if he is pened in and I'm out... but if I'm here he
will poop anywhere.. It's so frustrating.. I don't usually see him but all
of a sudden I smell it and have to go searching. He is just starting to go
outside to pee with my other dog.. but I'm not certain how to get him to
poop too. I don't want to keep him in his x-pen all day.. but someone told
me that until they are completely potty trained some puppies need the
discipline.
ANy other suggestions would be great! Tired of picking up the poop!
