A crate is another good potty training aid. Most dogs won't potty in their crates, so leave her in there and when you take her out, immediately take her to the potty pad, say "go potty," and give her a treat when she does. You may have to leave her in the crate a lot at first, but this WILL work. If she's in there for an hour or two, she'll build up to the point of having to go, and she'll go when you take her out.
Also, just because she is in a room with a potty pad all day does not mean she will go there. She needs positive reinforcement. You need to be there and watching her at all times for this to really work. It's time consuming and frustrating at times, but she will eventually get the hang of it.
Good luck!! |
