Hi Karen, I am so sorry to hear that you have some problems with your beagle. About her pooing, may I ask what brand/type of food you feed her with? Sometimes, if the dog food has a lot of fillers that cannot be digested, it will be pooed out and hence the more poop. Sometimes, some good brands that are fully digestible may help. As for the toilet training, does she understand the fact that you want her to poo/pee on the newspaper? Maybe try changing your method of training or try getting housetraining sprays that you can find in petstores? Just spray the toilet training on the newspaper that you want her to go so that there is a scent that she can pick up on the newspaper. OR you can use a piece of newspaper and swab on her pee when she does pee and put it under the fresh pieces of newspapers that you want her to pee on. 1 month is not a short time but its not a long time either. Some dogs learn fast and some dogs learn slow just like a human. Also, if you have the time during weekend, try to stay out with her and try to catch her do the right thing and when she does it, praise her and give treats and make a big deal out of it. Some positive reinforcement may help a long way. About bathing, my yorkie until now also don't like it. He is not scared of it but he hates it and its been a year since I bath him weekly. I don't even rinse his head. I just stop at his neck and clean his head with a damp towel so I also don't understand-maybe it takes a longer time. Best of luck to you. Pick a good & humane training method that focus on positive reinforcement and be constant and patience with it, hopefully things will turn out good for you and your furbabe. hello zen , thx for reply me . well , my litter princess with me already 1 month , but she still cant make peepoo on newspaper . at first , she will keep away from newspaper , but now she very naugthy , will bit newspaper and shoes . so newspaper totally doenst work at all . when i go to work , i'll keep her at my car park basement . i couldnt keep her inside house otherwise my mum will . atless she do peepoo outside house , i able to clean it after work . she still dont like to take bath . i bath her once a week . she no more runing aways but jump to my body and make me get wet , conclusion , i bath with her . my princess poo 5-6 times per day , is it normal ?? potter www.dogster.com/pet_page.php?j=t&i=410379
