When Desi was small he knew if I had the gate across the master bathroom doorway and he was in there, he would potty on the puppy pads. If he was playing five feet away from the bathroom, he would just potty right on top of his toys. He is doing better now except if he sees something on the carpet.his toy or a toilet paper roll that I was using to pick up poop, he will pee on top of it. Since I have been home from the hospital he has used the puppy pads in the bathroom numerous times for pee, but poops on the carpet. I have to figure this out, and I think it is just that the carpet is softer under his feet than the puppy pads are. Keep trying.I think that if I had the energy to see Desi doing the poop and scolding him for doing it, he would go on the puppy pads again, or I could get him to bark to go outside to poop. Is is one of those unknown things that we just have to keep trying until our babies get it right.

It was because she is so small and she can not hold her bladder for the few hours I am at school. Anyway when the litterbox is in her pen she will always use it, but when its in her play area or just in the floor when she is loose she will not. She will smell it investigate and play in it, but only use it for potty when she is in her pen. Why is this and how can I fix it? Emberly
