On Thursday’s episode ofThe Jennifer Hudson Showthe supermodel, 50, explained to hostJennifer Hudsonwhat she’s doing to try to housebreak thetwo new German shorthaired pointer puppies, named Uschi and Jäger, that she bought for her and her husbandTom Kaulitzin September after their previous dog died.

“It’s hard,” the overwhelmed new puppy mom admitted. “They’re now seven months, they pooped all over the house, peed all over the house.”

She confessed she’s having to go to extreme measures to protect carpeted areas of her home from their accidents, especially her closet.

“So that the dogs can, if they poo in the house, only poo in a certain part of the house and not everywhere,” she laughed.

She then described a scene that’s probably relatable to many puppy parents.

“I mean it would be, like, in my closet … I would be in my closet. I’m like, ‘It’s smelling bad in here,” Klum said, insinuating she’d then find “a dump in the closet” on the carpeted floor.
