I've had my baby for about 3 months and as soon as I got her home I opted for the litter training. I bought a smaller box when she was tiny and moved on to a longer/wider box since then. I buy the Purina doggie litter and it works GREAT! I've tried the pee pads, and Bailey only rips them up, and does her business next to them
.
She did try to eat the litter at first but with training and the word NO alot she got the idea. It's a potty.. not food. I change the litter every 2/3 days and there isn't any smell. When she poops I give her a treat, wipe her butt, and flush it right away. She won't go in the litter unless it's clean.
So yes, I feel after 3 months of getting Bailey to go in the litter, she is a master! And thank god.. NO messes on the carpet!
