I am sitting here about to burst with the frustration….
My dog is a poop machine on high. She poops every 1hour on the hour and I’m going to die if I have to clean up another poop or puddle. Okay……
I take out my puppy and she pees outside and then poops so I give her a tiny treat. Then she comes back inside and I put her in the lundary room (I put her in there when I can’t watch her, totally puppy proof though. I think she likes the smell of the clothes.) I come back 15 minutes later to take her out again and she beats me to it everytime!!! But she is very nice because sometimes she leaves me a poopy surprise to. I am getting so sick of cleaning after her, she is just untrainable! I have trained 2 dogs before her and they were angels. (I got them from the same breeder too). Here is her schedual….
I wake up and change her training pad because she poops on it every morning.
Take her out
Clean the room
take her out
clean the room, etc.

OMG she is just a BABY! You are expecting way too much out of her. You need to take her out more often if she is going that much. You may also want to get her to a vet to have her de-wormed. Worms can also cause a puppy to poop more than normal. And you need to watch her more often instead of putting her in that room. She needs to be constantly watched and at 8 weeks you can’t expect her to pick up on what you want her to do immediately. It takes time and lots of patience.
First of all, she is only 8 weeks old! Secondly, get a crate and crate train her. Thirdly, take her out every five or ten minutes if she is going at 15 minutes. Fourthly, what are you feeding her? She should be eating a puppy formula kibble. Check out Blue Buffalo Dog food (no not buffalo meat, it is just the name of the company!) Dogs on Blue eat less and poop less…..
Sounds like you are doing everything right. It just takes time and patience.
Here’s a site with more potty training tips:http://www.puppywonderland.com/pottytrai…
Changing the dog’s food to a better quality one (Innova, Evo, Canidae, California Natural, etc) will not take much effort on your part. Being consistent with her schedule is vital. Why is it that you are missing her signals when it’s time for her to go out? Here’s a link to help:http://www.inch.com/~dogs/cratetraining.…
She is pooping too much.. What are you feeding her? You should be feeding a good quality kibble.
Dogs will hold their food in their system until they eat again. As soon as they eat their body lets them know they can let go of the reserve and they will have to go to the bathroom. So i found the best thing to do is to only leave food and water out when I’m able to take them out. Get her on a feeding/drinking schedule, which will help. I would suggest not feeding or giving her water until certain times.She’ll actually be happy with the routine Also a few tips on crate training, don’t feed them in the cage, dogs do not eat in their dens. Also leave her in her cage at all times, unless she is outside, do not let her roam even in a puppy proof place. This is the hardest thing, however she will really grow to like it and it will became a safe comfy place for her to go and you’ll be happier in the long run too. But you have to remember her bladder is really small and she will have to go more frequently.You may just have to put up with it a little while longer. Good Luck.
try crate training, dogs try not to go in there becasue it becomes a den, and no oen wants there den dirty.. well unles they were raised in that, then they dont care.. then ihave no idea, try siruispuppy.com
Try taking her out more often! We really didn’t train our puppy to go to the bathroom; he saw us let our older dog out, saw her go, and then went. And we never taught him to poop outside. So he was fine.
But then, he started having pee accidents, so we had to take him out more often. Puppies have small/weak bladders, so for the first few months, mainly the first, they have to develop their bladders and strengthen them.
If you take your dog out every 10 minutes, maybe there’s something wrong in the insides? See if the vet can help. Is she having a hard time going, like straining? Of course, you can’t really ask if it hurts, but if she’s having a hard time going or it’s runny, go to the vet! Or at least call and talk with someone.
Oh, and don’t let up for awhile! When you get it under control, don’t take her out less, you’re likely to have the problem again. In 3 or 4 months it should be better, but still, don’t neglect it!
