I Have A Papillon Female Puppy That Is 4 Months Old And Is Doing Really Well With Potty Training But,?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
When I go out and put her in her cage she poops and pees in there. This is the only time she goes in the house. I don’t know what to do anymore. I have a cage divider, I take her out before I leave, I’m not gone that long. I know she does it on purpose. Please help!!! I cannpot keep scrubing the cage and kitchen floor and giving her a bath everyday or twice a day. Any ideas or suggestions?????

Papillons are known for bing attached to one person, if you happen to be that person you might as well stay home. Papillions get severe separation anxiety. Its just its way of saying “Don’t leave!” Does that answer your question?
I have to agree with pure stat on this one. Oliveeya will poop on the floor if I put her in my bedroom when company comes over and she wont settle down. Just today as a matter of fact she pooped in the kitchen when i ran to the grocery store!
Some 4 month old pups of small breeds are too imature to be fully house trained.Remember, small pups have small bladders. They may have to “go” every 30 minutes or so until 2 years old. This is why many small dog owners use a piddle pad. Buy a plastic base pan made for washing machines (found in plumbing departments)- fits pads exactly. They will use this in an emergency. Advice on the web for pad training is plentiful. Try it! As the dog matures he will try his best to go outside but the pad is a safety net. My paps even ring a bell to go outside- but if I am asleep or not at home, they will use the pad. I still treat ocassionlly for “good potty” outside.
Keep him confined to a SMALL area with a hard surface: Gate a bathroom. Get a crate – best. Use an x-pen. Put pup’s food, water, and bed here. They will try their best not to pee or poo in “their” place of comfort. And if there is an accident – because that is what it is, be sure to clean up with one of the enzyme cleaners freely in all nooks to remove the potty odor. Dogs can smell the odor when humans can’t. Good luck
