My 11 week old is urinating on the potty pads!!! Yea!!!! He was pooping on them and now he has stopped! I can not imagine why he quit and is now using it on all the floors in our home. Has anyone had this problem? I have been clapping, saying "no", and taking him to his pad.

Did you recently increase his space? It could be that you gave him too much freedome too soon. Keep him confined to a small space with a pad and increase it very gradually.

Even when he is in his gated area he is not using the pad for pooping only peeing.

Then you will have to make it small enough that there is only his bed and his pad. No other option.

Welcome to YT, by the way! We are glad to have you here!
