Hey I would get her a crate, but it sounds like you don't want to. If you do- as soon as you let her out- go to the pads, if she goes on them- when she does praise her like crazy, and right away. Lots of treats, smiles, praise!!!
She is very young as well, so don't except to much or for it to happen over night!
When you catch her in the act- take her to the puppy pads like you said you are doing- she will get it. Say a common phrase like 'go pee' or 'hurry up'= the shorter and more distinct the better. I wouldn't say Pee here when it is right and wrong- it probably is confusing.
I would just limit it to NO- go on the pads.
When she goes off the pads- just say NO firmly, take her to the pads.
The rewards are what really do it for them in my opinion.
My baby is just over 4 months and doing very well, but I had a few days that were... frustrating.
Also- Get the Simple solutions Jumpstart puppy pads- put 4 of them down! There is also a spray... (it seemed to do the trick for me)
it will help her be attracted to them. I have heard of people that the cheap ones just dont work, not sure the kind you are using.
Goodluck! Keep us updated.
Remember HUGE party when she goes on the pads!!!! |
