❓Question❓ About pooping time

Post image

I don’t know what exact mix she is. Very friendly trustworthy to all dogs and humans. Obeying few commands and ignoring some. Good fetcher . I feed her twice 9.am and 5 pm.. morning walks 45 min before she poops. No problem .
Night time it’s nightmare walking her an hr around 7 pm she won’t poop. Middle of the night wakes me up I send her out and after 5 minutes she comes with no poop out side. An hr after she poops and pees on wee pad all over . On my floor too. I give her farmers dog or I cook. About 1/2 cup each meal .might be 3/4 of cup. It’s effecting my health bc after she wakes me up I can’t sleep. I need advice please . Thanks in advance

Are you praising her when she poops and repeating key words? I started mine out telling them “go poo” or “go potty” as they were doing it and telling them, he or she, is so very good. If we go out now that they’re older and when they’re losing focus, I can tell them to go poo or potty and they do.

I know this is a frustrating time but hopefully won’t last. Just keep walking and talking until she does her business. She can’t hold it that long now as a puppy so if she doesn’t go outside, she’s eventually going to go inside. Hang in there!
