how old is bella? is she a puppy? or is this something she recently found
interesting. one trick that people use is to keep their dog tethered to their
waistband when they are home together. this way you can keep an eye on her.
you also might want to set up a situation where you see her doing it and
give the command "leave it". train for that command when she is under your
control. put something innocuous on the floor (a piece of paper) and when she
goes for it, say "leave it", step in between her and the paper and reward her
with a food treat.

: I cannot keep my girl out of the kitty litter. I scoop as often as possible. She
: knows she is not supposed to eat the litter but she's a sneaky one. We have
: even turned the litter pan (with cover) with the opening facing the wall. The
: cats can get through the small space but I didn't think Bella could. It worked
: for awhile but she's at it again. I usually only catch her because she has
: litter on her nose or because her breath smells awful. This is so disgusting
: and it can't be good for her, not just because she's eating poop but she's also
: eating fresh step kitty litter. Our space is limited and I don't have anywhere
: else to put the litter pan. I thought of a doggie gate at the door but one of
: my cats is a bit older and chubby. He may have a hard time getting over that
: gate. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
