Maddie is 10 weeks old and I am training her to potty outside. She is actually not doing as bad as I thought she would but it takes her FOREVER to potty! She will pee within 5 minutes but when it comes to pooping she just sniffs around for at least 20+ minutes. I wouldn't mind it if I only had to take her out a couple times a day, but taking her out 2 or so times in the middle of the night is a little overwhelming, and I also do not feel very safe outside by myself at that hour (I'm a worrier! lol). Any advice would be great! I already give lots of praise afterwords. Thanks!
