So my puppy does not poop when she should. In other words, its clear that she has to poop, so I take her out, but then she doesn't go. And then 5 minutes later, she exhibits signs that she needs to go (a specific whine) and I take her out and she doesn't go. You can feel that she has a full tummy and I know she has to go poop, but she doesn't go when I take her out. Is there any tricks to get her to poop the first time I take her out, as opposed to her going poop like the 6th time I take her out?? I end up taking her out WAY more than I should-- I need help!
*let me clarify- she does poop, just not the first time I take her out. I want her to poop the first time I take her out (ie. Right after she eats) and not the 10th time I take her out after she eats. Thanks

Rach, I am not going to be around much for a few days but I wanted to at least give you something to think about. First, as your puppy grows older, their potty schedules do change as they get more control over their bowels & bladder. So, the time between eating and pooping starts extending. There really aren't any "tricks" to get them to go the first time you take them out. You seem to have learned her signals very quickly. That is good. I guess the question is, does she whine every time she wants to go out? Is she whining every time she poops? Start taking notes about what is happening. I am left wondering if she did eat something that you aren't aware of that is causing her system to be upset OR maybe she just wants to keep going outside and checking everything out. Dogs don't always want to go out to do their business. When you are training a puppy, you have to start looking for the signs that differentiate whether they really need to do business or they just want to go outside because she likes going outside. I am sure you will get more answers from other people, as the day progresses.

It could be you are misreading her signals. Ruby made some good points as usual. One thing that makes a big difference is movement. Make her walk around, on leash or by playing a game.
