I have a 4-month-old puppy (though I've only had her for a month), and about a week ago she started to play with her fesses. This is really annoying because it happens half of the time she defecates, and she always makes a mess by spreading it on the carpet, plus getting some on her nails (meaning I have to go to the shower and clean her paws every time). I've also been unsuccessful in training her to defecate on a certain place (tried putting some fesses on said place, and making her smel it). Urinating she got quickly through a liquid thing that I bought, but this I just can't make it happen.
I started hitting her (not too hard) every time shes does it and then locking her up in the bathroom for 10 minutes, while also giving her treats whenever she doesn't play with shit (though I'm almost certain she isn't making the connection of treats = not messing around).
Please help me control this scat lover.

Teach her "leave it"
My puppy used to try and eat his poop but eventually he learned that and I rewarded him for not touching it a few times. Now he doesn't even sniff his own now that I think of it...
All puppies play with poo, anyway OP. I've known dogs who just kind of grew out of it
My dogs love to EAT poop and they tend to let it somehow make its way into the house. If your pup eats it, there is a medication that helps stop that desire. And if you see her do it what would work for me was squirting her with a squirt bottle, yell stop and show her the mess she made, grab her collar and put her face to face with the mess and tell her no that's bad and continue to put her in a time out. I'm no expert but these are somthings that helped me.

Why is a 4 month old puppy shitting indoors?
>>2006052

fuck this word, i can never spell it right. not even the google corrector complement helped.
>>2006109
thats good to know, hopefully she abandons it eventually because i dont feel like teaching her tricks...
>>2006116
well i did caught her eating it a couple of times and that really grosses me out because i let her lick all over me whenever she wants....
>>2006116
i like this bottle idea i will try it out thanks

Every dog or puppy I had never had reoccurring accidents inside. How often are you taking her out with SUPERVISION. IE: WALKS.

A dog has to poop outside, do you have any idea how to train your dog? It is disgusting for a dog to poop indoors.
And why do you hit her? If you seriously think it's not gonna help you wrong. Please don't let tout dog suffer from your ignorance and learn something about Dogs.

Teaching something like "leave it" isn't really a trick. I would say it's vital. It will teach your dog not to pick up everything it discovers on the ground which could save its life one day

Have you sprayed the spots she's pooped in with a proper cleaner so it removes the enzymes? Poop and pee leave behind very strong enzymes that don't come out easily.
I use nature's miracle, it works really well, but you should probably clean the areas with that if you don't want the dog pooping there.

For the third time, I haven't gottena around making her succesfully do it outside. Why is it disgusting for a dog to defecate indoors though? That's just you. Like, if they do it in a proper place, who gives a shit.
Hit is too much of a strong word also, sounds violent when I write it. It's more like a small palm gesture I do. I wouldn't say she suffers (I hope you are vegan if you are that concerned about that, by the way, but let's just leave it, don't want to start an argument here).

Ok it's just I'm new to this.
