Aiyoo dear friend, don't be disheartened la by this small matter that you know it can be solved.I know because I haven't really read stories of anyone in here who `once' has this problem and never got it solved wan. You leave your dog in the house or in the porch? If you learn to give up, I tell you, your dog will learn the same from you. If your pup didn't understand praise, perhaps your pup had never understand what praises meant? Try from the most basic lor, and show your pup that praise = something that is right and fun/good/nice/secure. Some dogs learn different tricks at a different rate and I see housebreaking as a trick too. If your pup poo when you're sleeping why not trying confining the area he/she gets to go when you're sleeping that way when he/she wants to poo desperately it'll be on that place? Soon they'll get used to pooing at that place. It really takes a lot of patient and consistency from you seriously. You said you've tried newspaper, what do you mean by that? Just leaving it around for your pup to poo? Then its definitely not going to work. Well if you meant putting at the place when she/he wants to poo, how long have you been doing that? Another thing I forgot to mention is this, my Zoe will have certain specific area she'll poo last time when she got back home. How I newspaper train ah? I put a few piece of newspaper around where she usually would go do her business with the hope the next time she goes, it'll be those places again. Also, a big area actually the whole area of her room( her room means a whole human room with a cage ) the whole room floor is filled with newspaper too. So these area where she goes, she'll have to smell the newspaper first before poo ma rite? Soon one day she finally just understands about newspaper. But that doesn't mean she understand which newspaper area can and which cannot. So the next step will I leave the whole room filled with newspaper, when I catch her pooing, I shout and run after her. Especially when she small and can't control, even when I shout and run towards her, her ehem....sorry ah..shit will hang half way or poo will still be flowing. But I don't care, just carry and bring her to the right place and say good girl and sayang her many times lor. Once she's done, give her happy voice and lots of praise again. Simple as that, after some time she learns, now the area of newspaper is just very small. Something wrong aiming la but at least I know she'll poo only when she smell the newspaper inside the room. Aim wrong wan..heheh...technical problem la nothing to do with her understanding. Keep this in mind, repeat what you say and do consistently not changing your method after a day or two, you'll definitely make it. I am no pro but as a first time dog owner, who once thought there's no way I can teach my dog anything, well I was more than just wrong looking at everything she understands and can do on command today. You go look at my thread and see how many problem I had with Zoe still today all resolve. Never give up!!! Keep me or ppl here updated maybe I can compare Zoe's learning patern with yours so that you can come out with solution also. By the way, how old is your pup now? ------------------------------------------------------------ <-----Looks like a cockroach from this picture!!
