Thanks everybody so much for your feedback! I think this little girl will just never use a potty pad, but fortunately she's been really good at going outside the past 2 days. I took her out twice this morning and she did pee and poo on command...i was so proud. She got lots of praise and treats and when she comes back in she gets to snuggle with me or play oustide of her xpen. Last night, she only barked twice and my mom took her out. She didn't do anything either time but she went right back to sleep and slept inside her crate voluntarily all night, which is inside her xpen.
So it looks like she can last the night and hold it in if she has to. YAY. We're still taking her out every time she barks or whines b/c I want her to learn that the only time it's okay to bark or whine is when she wants to go outside. Bark/whine= taken outside to potty and straight back inside to xpen if she doesn't or if it's sleep time.
Thanks again!
