We have tried so many ways to get Annie potty trained. Pads, Litter Box, Pads, wizdog...
We have been using the wee wee pads for quite some time. Even the litter box (we had a spell where we even thought she was trained) But then she stopped using the litterbox altogether one day. So we went back to the pads! But sometimes she would go on the edge and pee would end up all over the floor. So I tried using the wizdog and although the tray is maybe a quarter inch off the ground she wouldn't step onto it and would just pee on the floor instead. Her trainer had suggested that we put gates as a pathway to the wizdog so that she knew which way to go. So finally yesterday I gave in and gave it a try. I closed off the whole bathroom and made a "path" to the wizdog. She doesn't like to be watched when she goes so we usually play the potty game where she goes to the bathroom and I tiptoe behind her. But of course those little doggie ears hear everything, so she would just follow me back out. The first couple times she didn't use it and found other places to pee. So I decided to let her do it on her own and not follow her. Then after dinner she pooped in there and before bed she went potty in there! I was so excited. But it was the first time, so I didn't want to get my hopes up! Then this morning she did both numbers 1 and 2 on the wizdog! (on her own, just let her out of her crate and she headed for the bathroom, I went and checked after she came back to the room) I was so elated !
Amazing what can get me excited these days!
So cross your fingers and hope that Annie keeps it up!
