In such a confined area she is more likely to use the wee pads. (this week she is using them 90%)
When we are home and I want to give her room to run, I set her free in larger areas that are safe and gated. She has all of her toys and a couple humans to play with.
My pup is 13 weeks old and this is working out really well so far. As she gets bigger, calmer ? and smarter??? we will give her more freedom. right now she never goes outside unless we are holding her. When I *do* try to get her to potty outside I am hoping I can do this by moving her wee pads outside?
My friend's dogs are totally wee pad trained. On the 4th she had a barbecue and a guest dropped a napkin. Her dog ran over and peed on it! The guest was mortified 
I would be sooooooo proud  |
LOL...That's Maximus...he doesn't realize it's OK to potty outside...lol, we went to the park for a BBQ and someone had a dropped a napkin..lol..he pooped directly on it..try to get him to do that on the wee- wee pads...lol, as far as peeing I still have to bring a wee wee pad with us whenevr we take him to the park otherwise when he has to go he starts to whine..as soon as I put it down he pees and is off..lol
