A few nights ago we took the pee pad out of our room, and she is only upstairs when we can give her our undivided attention, and when we go to bed we are crating her again. When I wake up the first thing I do is take her out of the crate and bring her downstairs to pee, and whenever she has to pee we take her to the downstairs pad and are pretty much potty training her all over again, but instead of training her to the pads in general we are just training her to that one pad. I don't know if you'd be able to try anything like what I'm doing, but as far as the success goes, since we've been doing this we haven't had any pee accidents on the floor upstairs *in the mornings* (Every morning I would wake up to a new post  ). |
How old is Bella? I heard that puppies go through a few stages of slipping backwards. I am doing similar stuff as you are. I am leading her to the pad of my choice as much as possible and when I see her sniffing to poop, I am taking her to the pad I want her to use. Even though she never poops on the one I want. That's because I kept her in the laundry room a few nights to get her to use the pads. She never wanted to go in there again. Then I got the idea to throw food onto the pad so she would associate it with something positive. When she wasn't scared of the room anymore, I started to encourage her to use the pad. It has worked well, but now I have to get to the next step.
