I have had Roxie for a month and she is 5 1/2 months old. I made the mistake of not crating her enough whern she first came home and for 2 weeks we had accidents everywhere. Now when I can't watch her, and she hasn't peed on the pad in the last hour or so she goes in the crate. She even goes in there if I am going into the front of the house for a minute. Usually she will come out and go on the pad. SO in 2 weeks of doing this she has started to use the pads on her own when she doesn't know I am watching her or if it has been awhile I say go potty on the pad and she goes most of the time. We still have occassional accidents but not many. I honestly thought their was something wrong with her mentally at first she just didn't get the idea of pottying on the pads, even though the others were using it to. I know I still have a ways to go but I am so less frustrated. So hang in there they eventually get it. |
