> Hi there.. i don't know much about pekes.. this is my first one.. a baby boy 2 months old.. he's very shy and gets scared very easily.. my problem is his poop!.. i got him kind of paper trained.. but he poops all over the place.. when is time to do pipi he goes to the paper most of the time but nevermind for number two!.. what can i do?.. I can't lock him up it makes him cry too much.. I'm a softy :o(..any others ideas?.. thanks in advance.. Iggy and Fay

You are wise with the paper. I have six Pekes and they are all paper-trained! Anyway, try taking him out every few hours. Once he has defecated, praise him excessively. Locking him up will not teach him to go on the paper. It will merely make him feel ignored and unloved.
