Have you tried shadow training? My mom had to do that with a very slow to train Pom. we had, when we were raising them. We would feed her at exactly the same time daily, breakfast, lunch, dinner, treats, Etc. We did her play time, walk, crate time, etc. same time everyday. Plus when she was out of her crate she had her harness on with the leash and the leash was attached to my mom or one of us. We would chart her potty times and always took her out to potty on her leash. We would take her to the spot we wanted her to go and tell her "go potty"....we'd wait, when she started to go we'd tell her "go potty" and celerbrate like crazy when she was finished. Plus, with advise from our vet he told us to "wipe" her with a paper towel after she went potty #1 & #2 and have her smell the paper towel the next time we took her out and tell her to "go potty" while she was smelling the towel. It worked like a charm and we were having fewer accidents (down to one accident the first week) and she always went potty on the same spot of the yard ( easier to clean up when it is all in one spot) Good Luck! |
