Are you all using treats as well as praise? Chloe P was only 7 wks when I got her ( I know now thats too young) in Oct....by Christmas she was pad trained and that was after trying outside for a couple of weeks, maybe more, but it got too cold for both of us. I'm home during the day so I never used a crate. I put her on the pad and said "potty", I was already saying this outside. Most of the time she would go but had accidents too. She only has the use of two rooms, kitchen and adjoining family room. She never went the same place twice either. The thing that seemed to turn the corner for us was adding treats. I acted like I won a million dollars when she went on the pad and she loved the attention but when I gave treats she fell all over herself and before long she "had it". She is totally hard-headed about everything else tho and I'm not having much luck training anything else. Does anyone have it easy? I hope this helps. |
