Take a small rubber backed rug, like a bathroom rug, to put on the metal table, then it won't slip and he will have good footing, and the smell of home to comfort him. Combined with all of the above positive reinforcement and lots of 'drop in' vet visits.

i do not recommend that…..i tried that once and my b's were ok and didnt do anything or get into anything for like 3 days after that was horrible i think they get bored but i dont crate mine....they have their own room and they stay there when were gone

I think at this point it's not really a huge matter of whether your dog is African, whether you want to register w/AKC, {nor how much love you give him}, but of doing something to get a handle on this breeder. If she's not breeding well, and if she's passing herself and her dogs as something they are not, she needs to be stopped.

And, as Tanza said, getting some picture as to the health history of your dog's family tree.

hmm I was having a hard time getting Bindi to poop in the back yard, she was doing fine for the first week, she kind of went in the same places for the most part, she changed them every now and then, but now I can't get her to poop out there

she's not really leash trained yet and often is too distracted by traffic to do her thing in the front yard 😕 maybe she feels the back is her play spot? yet she poops right next to the toys in the living room sometimes sigh

I hope she poops outside soon, she's been holding it for most of the day 😕
