Aww, I'm sorry you are having a hard time with her. I know this must be a difficult decision for you.
This is only a suggestion and you may already be doing this... but when you take her outside to potty, keep her on a leash so you know where she is and at what moment she does her business. Talk to her the whole time and tell her to "go potty" or whatever phrase you use to get the deed done. Then as soon as she is finished, praise her (of course) and take her back inside. Maybe even take her outside alone so there isn't anyone to distract her.
I still have a hard time with Mia sometimes, she goes outside and I think she forgets she is out there to do her business and she goes off and plays, then when she comes back inside she realizes "hey, I need to go!"
I have been making sure I tell her as soon as I take her out to "go potty, go potty" after that business is done, she is free to play! It's like she just needs a little reminder of what she is out there for. |
