I'm in the same situation trying to housebreak my puppy. I wake up, take her out, feed her, take her out... then she goes in her area until I get home. Lucky for me I have a porch off my bedroom, so I'm trying to train her to go pee our poop out there while I'm gone and then I can just sweep/wash it off (it's concrete). For now I just leave the door open a crack and she goes out on her own, but when it gets too hot to leave the door open I was going to try keeping the door shut but putting a puppy pad down right by the door. That way she still knows to go to the door when she has to go. So maybe try putting the puppy pad next to the door? |
