Well, I posted earlier that Bonnie was confined to my garden tub when I first got her. She had her potty pad on one end and bed on the other. She never had an accident in her confined area.
I sat in the bathroom floor with her every morning and night playing with her. There was a pad on the bathroom floor. She did a great job using the pad while she was running loose in the bathroom.
Then we branched out into my bedroom each evening. I sat in the floor with her and she played. Before she could go in the bedroom, I would say "Potty on your potty pad, Bonnie". AND SHE WOULD. Of course there is the usual treats and potty praise. LOL When we were in the bedroom, she would go back to the bathroom to use her pad. She now stays in her xpen when I am gone.
WELL, yesterday she got a bath, and we were sitting on the couch snuggling. I let her down to play, but I was watching her like a hawk. In a minute she took off running. I thought "What is she running for?" I followed her into the bathroom, and there she was pooping on her pad. I was so happy I thought I would burst with pride. HAHA
So last night my MIL and FIL came over for supper and I gave her free time in the main area of the house. She ran back to the bathroom to pee on her pad. OH I am excited about the possibility of her being a "free" dog
