To get her to go to the door, try using a bell. Hang a large bell to your door and everytime you take her to potty, take her out of that door and shake the bell. Once she gets the hang of this whole going out to potty thing she will learn to ring the bell (hitting it with her nose or pawing at it) to alert you that she needs to potty. I have rubbed a small bit of peanut butter on it to teach / treat them for ringing the bell. They even sell "doggie doorbells" for this type of training.
Hope this helps! Good luck! |
