Hi Hun,
Rescues take A LOT of patience, time and love.
Her history (5 years of it) won't go away overnight. She is scared right now and probably had no proper training (5 years of it).
Do you want her to do potty outside only? If so, you need to take her outside to do potty every 1/2 hour. Bring a REALLY YUMMY TREAT - make this treat the "Good Potty Behavior Treat" - When she potty's outside - PRAISE her, have a party - Good Girl - Good Girl - Good Girl - And then of course give her the treat.
Positive Praise and Treat Rewards are great for training.
Now, she probably needs to gain some confidence, and I warn you that it may take a whole year or longer for her to truly warm up to you and your family. So please be prepared for a long haul (maybe).
Nice talk and treats and toys will help as well. I also suggest that you and the girls sit on the floor and try to coax her. Since your girls are very young, their standing height can be intimidating to her, she may be scared of being hit or stepped on. So again, have sitting lessons with your girls.
Best of luck! Welcome to YT - you'll find lot s of great info here! |
