QuestionI got this yorkie about 5 months ago; she just recently started pooping in the house and it's only when I'm home. I have tried to take her out just a few minutes after eating and she just walks and sniffs (she will pee outside, hasn't done that one time in the house). HELP! :)
AnswerYou may need to practice traditional housebreaking techniques; while the dog is 3 years old, your home and lifestyle is new to her.
