Wow after reading all your stories on training I sure am blessed.
It took me less than 6wks for Buddy to be fully trained. I knew nothing
about pee-pads but he was crated, with me coming home on my lunch
hour, 24mi round trip, for six weeks. He was 14wks when I got him so
at six months he was completly trained. When I was home I took him
out every 2-3hrs, weather he ate or not. If I saw him sniffing or walking
a circle I picked him up so fast and ran down the steps and outside.
Then did the poopy dance for all to see when he went outdoors
I did use a little piece of liverwurst as his treat and that was the only
time he got it immediately following going potty. A trainer told me to do this and it worked like a charm.
He loved that liverwurst but never saw it again once he was trained.
Has not had an accident in the house since, only when he had a stomach problem twice, and I'm gone 9hrs Mon-Fri. He's a big boy now at 5(16lbs) but has been able to hold it since he was 6lbs at 6mos. Don't give up, they really want to please you. I would follow the instructions on the site Nancy provided. That's pretty much what I did. Good luck to you. I know it must be so frustrating but hang in there once your baby "get's it"
she won't forget. It's so important to watch that body language and
get her out before she squats.
