I crated her at night which worked great for us. the space was just large enough for her to lay in and she would wake me up to pee... she started using this low growl, as opposed to a cry, and i could distinguish between.. i need to pee.... from i want out because i dont' want to be in here  we were up at least once a night up until around 8 months. now she sleeps through and just LOVES HER CRATE! you might also attach a bell to the front door (or whichever you use) and ring it each time you go out.. eventually she will do it on her own.. and remember.. praise praise praise... a year and half later we still have a huge party whenever Layla poops outside.... treats and love and lots of Good Girls... we sounds like complete nuts but she loves it  |
Thanks! Question: if she wasn't crated during the day, was she free to roam the house? If so, how did you prevent her from going potty inside?
