We are training our girl to go outside now too, since it is no longer so cold. We've had to monitor her closely and also take her outside regularly. As soon as she wakes up from a nap, we take her out, and if she's had a drink of water, we take her outside. The minute we let her out of her crate in the morning, we don't even put her down on the floor, we carry her outside and put her down there. Then we consistently reward her each time with a treat (or two) and give her lots of praise. |
