Question
Hello! My Maltese is 11 weeks, she's in the process of being potty trained. She is really good at going on the pads but she likes to eat her feces, how can I get her to stop eating her feces? I love receiving kisses from her but not after she eats her feces.  Please help!

Answer
whoah!!!!
well i must say i am unsure on this one lol it must be something to do with the smell that attracts her lol.
All i can suggest to prevent is to use negative influences to deter her from doing it ie saying no load and giving her the look ! then remove the feces from the situation lol.
I know wat you mean with the kisses lol nobody likes poop breath ! lol
