Great advice above!
Also, are you pad training her or outside training her? In your first sentence, you say pads. Then you say you are treating her for outside. You are probably confusing her as to where she is supposed to go. You must treat her when she goes on the pad AND outside if you want her to be trained for both.
Too much freedom too quick can cause this too. If she's still having accidents, she is not potty trained. I think the rule of thumb is 30 days of no accidents. Until then, keep her confined, whether it be a crate or an ex-pen unless you can seriously devote your eyes to her 24/7. She's untrustworthy right now so you can't give her too much freedom. Start it slowly. After say, 2 weeks of no accidents, expand her freedom a bit but not too much. After 4 weeks, expand it more. Just slowly let her know that EVERY room in your house is not a potty. Dogs usually naturally do not want to go to the bathroom where they sleep. That's why crate training can be so successful. However, you want her to feel like your whole apartment is the place where she sleeps eventually and have no accidents!!
Bottom line... schedule and consistency are key factors in potty training. Get her on a schedule/routine. Know that EVERY morning she will have to go pee and poop most likely so pick her up first thing in the morning and do not let her feet touch the ground to avoid accidents... bring her Directly to where she is supposed to go (whether it be pad or outside) and do not let her inside or let her do what she wants to do until she goes potty. Then, praise and rewards! Know that after every meal and water, she will need to use the bathroom shortly thereafter. Even after playtime and getting all excited, they will usually have to pee. |
