I have tried to encourage her to go on a pad when the weather is bad but she just won't have it! she stands there looking at me all wide-eyed and confused!  I'm not having it cut too short..I will leave her head hair long so she can still have her ponytail..and I will re-grow her body hair in the spring...I'm soooo nervous about doing this! I'll post pictures of the end result anyway...she is booked in for friday 12th sept!  |
Oh good, I'm glad you chickened out; she looks so beautiful in the long hair. You could use a behavior modification technique for teaching her to use the pad. This is where you start with taking the pad outside, and placing her on the pad. There are many steps involved, but it does work if done properly. Definitely keep that topknot!
