I stuck to the training pad as to not confuse her with going outside and inside. I am not lying when i tell you I potty trained her in those two weeks and she has not had an accident since (knock on wood)and she is 7 months old. You have to be very patient and watch her like a hawk. You will not have a life or get much done in those weeks but for me it was sooooo worth it. |
Hi Lulu,
Can you tell me more about the Potty tray? Do you mean a litter box? I'm so confused about training. My pup goes NUTS when I put down a wee wee pad. Newspaper he can tolerate, but the pads make him crazy. You put the pad next to the crate? My pup is smart and I think he can really catch on, but I don't know what to do, go out, paper train, I can't decide. People tell me the pro's and con's of both. The reality is, he's not really "getting" either technique. He will use papers in his pen, and he will stay clean in his crate, and he will go outside, but he will not initiate any of these choices. If I have papers in the kitchen, he does not always use them. In his pen yes, but in a larger space, no. I'm home most of the day, so I have the time, but I've never had a young pup like this. Should I follow a schedule for crate training? How often does an 11 week old pup need to go??
Thanks for the help,
Liz
