Luckily my cute maltese dog knows by himself where to pee and
poo. So smart.
Hmm, yes, watch the dog....when she is just about to poo, dont you
see her sniffing the ground and circling around. That's the sign,
take her to your preferred designated area. Wait there until she
does poo. If she wants to go elsewhere, dont let her. When she has
done this several times then the place will be her habit
choice.
And please be more tolerant, dont give punishments easily. They are
too cute to punish. They also have very short lifespan compared to
human life. Just be more patient.
