Potty pad training I would suggest that you keep her confined to a much smaller area like an expen with a space for her bed, food/water and keep pads under everything until you notice she sort of starts to use one area. She will start to pick out her "bathroom" and you can gradually pick up all the pads except one. Until she starts to get the idea, I would not let her have run of the house and wouldn't take my eyes off of her while she is out of her expen. Sounds like she really doesn't understand what she needs to do so you will need to take it back to basics and limit her options. She will naturally want to keep her bed clean and if the space is small enough she will determine an area wear she will prefer to do her business. These little guys can take a long time to become reliable with their housebreaking. It is going to take a lot of patience and effort. Have you checked out the training forum. There is a lot of good potty advice on there. Just remember the best and easiest way is to work with her own natural instincts to keep her den clean. That is why confining her will help. She will eventually respect your house as her den, but right now with her so small and your house so big it is just like one big potty to her. You want to limit her choices to bed, food or potty. She won't poop where she sleeps and eats for long. Hope this helps. Good luck and hang in there. Most of mine took months before they really had the hang of it. |
