Please help! We just brought our 9 week old rattie pup home four days ago. We are having some serious problems with the potty training. I've read all the books and went into this prepared, but reading it and doing it are two completely different things. We are training her to go on newspapers in the kitchen, and she sometimes does great with it. The issue is when she has to go poop. She whines and cries like crazy, and it's like she's terrified of going poop. She runs around the kitchen yelping and crying and it's just pathetic. Eventually when she can't hold it anymore, she'll finally go-- sometimes on the paper, sometimes not. I just don't know what to do. I praise her as lavishly as possible when she goes on the papers, and I try not to get frustrated when she goes somewhere else. She's been in the kitchen crying now for half an hour, and I KNOW that she has to poop because she squatted down and almost did it on the carpet, and it's hanging out of her butt. Am I doing something wrong??? Is she never going to get this? Help! I love her so much and I never imagined how happy she could make me, which is why it destroys me to sit here listening to her cry. I'll post pictures of her as soon as I figure out how to, but I need help with this issue ASAP! Please!
