It all happens so fast, there is just no way I can get her out the door in time for her to connect the dots. Does that make sense? I follow that up with a treat and a good girl!
Daisy is now 80% trained to pee on the pad but will also poop wherever she happens to be standing. Good thing it is such a tiny mess, huh? I actually consider this to be great progress for her at such a young age. My first Yorkie took just over a year to be totally consistent going to the bathroom outside.
