You could always use diapers when shes running around in the house to insure she doesn't soil the carpet |
She was 4 months old and I got from a breeder who told me that she was crate trained and on her way to house breaking...yeah rt.! I have tried indoor grass which she did pee on but not poop and the smell was too hard to deal with even after cleaning every 2 days. That smell just didnt come out...As I said she went to a trainer...they tried to target train her to go in one place in the yard...she didnt do it for me but has found 2 different places she likes on her own. I know she is smart b-c she does some basic commands like come, sit and walks on the leash and stops on command. I also know she very stubborn but know that is a terrier trait b-c I have a 14 year old Schnauzer. I am getting ready to spend more money on another very experienced trainer to see what he thinks.
