I completely agree. I posted here about 2 weeks ago B/C I was having trouble potty trainig Sammy, and I followed most of the above and happy to say
Sammy has been going on the pad consistently pee and poo for about a week now. At first he didn't want to go, so I put the leash on him and waited there, sometimes, up to 35 minutes till he got the point and went, then praise like crazy, treats, etc.. After every meal, I tied him to me, so it would be easier to keep an eye, and as soon as I saw him sniffing or hunching his back, immediately to the pad, well, he got it. I'm so excited!! but yeah, I learned that if you are consistent, praise, and ALWAYS keep an eye on her she should learn. They learn fast..Sammy always looks at my hands after he goes on the pad to see what I have for him! Good and Thank You everyone else for your help.
