What I did when I litter trained my boy, I picked up a little piece of his poop and put it in the litter box and then let him smell it he got it right away. I am having problems with my new baby too because she does not like the wet grass. So I am trying to train her to use a potty pad for the days its raining. Good luck and he sounds like such a love :)

To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, January 18, 2011, 4:34 PM I agree with Gloria. If you give him a safe place inside to poo maybe he would stop his random pooing inside. I use wee pads inside on hard plastic wee pad trays. It protects my floor and the babies know they are allowed to go on them. To train them I reward when they first start using them. They also have a special scent that attracts them. Good luck, Carol and Crew On Tue, Jan 18, 2011 at 5:17 PM, Kylie <[email protected]> wrote: I rescued a chihuahua 2 years ago. When I first got him he had been severely neglected and was close to death. when I first brought him home he was really aggressive to everyone except me. With some love and lots of attention and always having a lap to sit in he has transformed from a very aggressive dog into a very loving family member. He is spoiled between our 4 kids and grandson and my grandma who holds him all day long. We love him dearly but he has one bad habit that is very hard to live with and I need some advice on how to handle it. He poops in the house alot. He'll do it everyday for awhile and then not do it for a week then start it all over again. It seems to have nothing to do with the weather. It'll be sunny and after hes been outside he'll poop inside. It's cold here in WI but some days hes fine with going outside and other days he just goes wherever he feels like it. We've tried rewarding him when he goes potty outside but then the next day he goes inside. We always make sure he gets outside when he needs to but sometimes he'll poop right after he gets back in. Please help! I'm sick of cleaning up poop inside the house! -- Carol Muchacha, Bella Rose, Chibbie, Blue, Cooper, Ruth Anne, Gracie, ChiChi, Granny and Holly Noel
