I think we got Izzy and Kash at bout the same time. For the first 3 weeks (weve only had her 4 come Friday) we tried potty pads with NOOOO luck, not one little bit of progress, I was becoming very frustrated. My bathroom smelled like pee soooo bad ( and so did Izzy) and I could not stand it. So on Sat we went and picked up a harness and leash. And we started going outside every two hours, and we have made more progress in 5 days and it amazes me. We took all the potty pads out. I still smell a little pee but I think if I keep using Natures Miracle it will get better ( I have a huge sense of smell). I am working a little bit right now but its only temporary while a girl is out having a baby. My husband has a sawmill and is at home all day and he has been coming into take her out while Im not here (shes not doing a great job with him, she is very nervous around men
). I think I would try to get an xpen and put a plastic table cloth or a shower curtain under it, the clean up is much easier without the smell left on the floor. We always give Izzy a treat after pee or poop. I am like a broken record sayin go potty until she does something and I think she has caught on to it. She even looks up waiting on that treat when shes done. She has had a couple of accidents but really just with my husband since Sat. Hopefully Im getting closer to the light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck!
