I crate trained Coco for like a month, and let me tell you . i didn't like it, but she is so great with her potty with maybe one accident a week or every couple of weeks at almost 5 months. I put her in her crate during the day, while I was at work. I know it sounds mean, but they are fine, and it's not forever. Just until she gets it. After a month, she was doing well, so she graduated to a very small hallway. And soon she will graduate to my large vanity area, if she continues to be so good. Keep her in a crate for like 2-4 hours and then when you take her out, put her on a pee pad right away. Confine her to her pad, with you sitting there. So she knows she's not going ANYWHERE until she goes. Use a command. I use "DO YOUR BUSINESS". I confined both of us in a bathroom where there is no where to run. She will catch on soon. Just praise the heck out of her when she goes where she is supposed to and let her out of the bathroom. That way she gets it, that when you take her there, if she goes potty, the fun will start. |
