I have a 12 week old Shih Tzu which I've had for 2 1/2 weeks. She has been pooping in her crate and I'm not sure what to do. I have decreased the size of the crate to just big enough for her to turn around and lay down. Last night I got up at 1:30 and took her out, but she only peed, then pooped at 3 am in the crate. From what most people tell me, dogs usually eat then go. She doesn't. She eats then might poop 5 hours later (or less). I'm having a hard time figuring out her schedule. She eats at the same time, but poops at different times. We're doing pretty well with the peeing. Any tips would be appreciated. :confused:
