For those of you that have followed my previous threads on Oreo's lack of signaling to go out/peeing/pooping in the house....today, while she did actually get away from me and poop (and then clean up after herself, she later rang her bell loud and proud and then proceeded to pee outside!!  YEAH!!  I am hoping that is a breakthrough.  I didn't scold her for the earlier mishap, but I did immediately brush her teeth.  I have done that a couple of times after she has eaten it.  I am hoping that she will associate the fact that she gets her teeth brushed (which she hates) each time she eats it?  Wishful thinking? Expecting too much of a dog....maybe....but what else do I have to go with!

Just wanted to share....

Yay Oreo! Good job ringing your bell! Hey at least she cleans up after herself. For the LONGEST time Yaz would poop everytime we left her alone in the house. Knock on some wood somewhere......she hasn't done it in a really long time.

good girl Oreo  we knew you could do it  

The poop thing I have a problem with also Holly doesnt clean up hers she goes after the cats... scares me with the litter I dont want her eating it........vet said the poop wont hurt her the litter will.

Stinky situation

Yaz is a cat poop lover too. We use feline pine cat litter. Can pine hurt her? She doesn't get in it much.

Sounds like progress to me! What do I know? Anyway, glad Oreo is learning the bell ringing. Sorry about the poop eating. Savanna still does that once in a while. And NO brushing her teeth hasn't helped. She LIKES having her teeth brushed. Crazy little dog!!!
