Hi everyone,
I have a bit of a dilemma going on right now, i recently (5 days ago) moved my dogs "toilet" from my laundry room into the garage after my mum complaining about the smell. Her usual "toilet" is made out of a card board box lined with garbage bags and then with newspaper on top. To make access easier for my dog, i've even installed a doggy door through the door that leads to the garage.
Now, i think this is where the problem is. I've managed to train her to use the doggy door but she has never used it by herself. I've had to encourage her to go through the doggy door from inside the garage and then to tell her to go pee. She knows to pee in the toilet but when it comes to pooping she's completely confused, she has been pooping inside the house ever since we moved her "toilet". I have even picked up her poop and placed it in her toilet so she can sniff it and hopefully poop but that hasn't happened yet.
Prior to this, she has been wonderful with her toilet training, i never had to really train her she just instinctively knew to do her business on top of newspaper.
I am completely lost with what to do! Please help.
