I haven't read but a few of the response's to your post...
potty training can be a very frustrating time in your life, no doubt.
It sounds like you are going 2 steps forward, 1 step back-and that is okay.
We have a 9 month old girl. Confinement was the key.
At only a few months old, she did not mind being in her pen (hee hee-we called it the penitentiary) at all. In fact she LOVED it. There she would stay in her little pen with a bed, a little blankie, chew toys, food & water bowls...and of course a wee wee pad. Which she rarely used.
This way I could get things done at home and she could see me and was a happy little camper. She never had an accident in there.
We would of course continue to run her outside every hour and give LOTS & LOTS of good potty praise.
It will get better as your baby matures. Dogs are clean animals. They don't want to live in their own filth!
Good Luck! |
