Question
hello. i have fully trained my 3 month old pug puppy to PEE on newspapers but she never POOPS on the nespaper. do you know why this is and how i can train her to poop on newspapers?

Answer
You have to observe when she looks like she has to go and actually take her to the papers.  Dogs don't usually learn where to go by being left to their own devices.  

Or, you can set up an exercise pen that is completely papered, then, as she gets used to the idea of pooping on paper, make the papered area smaller and smaller.  Don't scold for mistakes, and don't forget to reward her when she goes on the paper.
