Oh hun it can take longer for her to learn. Remember she's a puppy mill dog. She was never taught to go potty, she was more than likely in a cage 24/7 and pottied on herself. I would keep her confined to a area when you can't watch her but I recommend not putting her in a crate. Poor thing must have been crated all her life. Just be patient and consistant. I know how aggrevating it can get but in the end you are going to be so proud of yourself. I too have a rescue and thankfully for me she learned fairly quick. Now she has free run of the house because I can now trust her. Before that I would gate her in the kitchen because if she had an accident it was easy to clean up. Wish you luck and if you need anything else please feel free to PM me.
Thanks for giving this girl a second chance. So rewarding and so beautiful to watch them blossom right in front of your eyes. |
