| Aw, I know its probably a pain, but how cute that she copies you! lol She is still a baby and potty training takes time, so the best advice I can give is be persistant and patient! I'm sure someone else on here will have better advice... I'm just a rookie!

| LMAO! wow, i am sorry of your situation but that is pretty cute. Maybe have her follow you a few times, pretend to go, and when she is about to squat, tell her no and take her outside to her potty area. Thats all I can think of, good luck! |

| Yeah, know what you mean! All 5 of mine have to go into the bathroom with me. I told DH they must think I have a secret door and I'm gonna leave without them if they don't go with me! And I have some of Nancy's, Lil Bit, washable pee pads in the bathroom, so they're pretty good about using them. Don't you just love the little stinkers?!

YT Addict | Too funny! Quote:
Yeah I can't get a min. peace she has to be with me and just watch while i am in the restroom. Its bazar I think she has a potty watching fettish. If I don't leave that door open she will get so upset that she has litterally tossed herself up against the door trying to get in. She defintely has her qirkes but I love her! As to the issue I really can only think of one thing. That is to do what has already been stated to pretend to go and when she tries tell her no and put her on her pad or out side. | |

| Korkie follows me in too. If I don't let her in she takes her tiny paw and digs under the door. If I do let her in she jumps and jumps. I know shes' going to make it into my lap one day. She has gone on the bath mat a few times so I sympathize. I just wash it. I figure as short as she is it probably rubs her in a place that makes her feel like she has to go. When the mat is on the tub she doesn't show signs of needing to go. |

| When we were pottie training logan I went to the bathroom & he jumped into the shower & went. I gave him a treat because it was easy enough to clean up & better there then somewhere else. I would put a pee pad down until she gets the hang of where she supposed to go. Logan only peed once when I did, but he loves to sit on my lap while i pee. I'm not sure what the fasination is. But he runs in as soon as I sit down & asks to come up on my lap. Quirkie doesn't even being to explain it.

| Kass follows us in and scratches our leg to be picked up but doesnt have the urge to join us in our deed. She flops herself on your lap and settles in like it is her fav place to sleep lol. We dont know what it is like to close a bathroom door and not have a dog on our lap. They have the funniest little quirks and sometimes they can be annoying but you have to laugh.

| My baby follows me as well... But it just for attention though... Your baby seems to be doing a copy cat thing with you... especially, only being 12 wks... If that were my Meka, I'd probably put a pee pad under her to help with the training... Seems like she only wants to "go" where you do
