Do you have a command that he knows to eliminate? Mine know that when I say "go potty", it's time to go. Once they do their business, they know it's time to go back in so taking them out is a snap. When I can't go out with them, they wait by the door and I just tell them from the inside to go potty. Most of the time, they get it and will run out into the yard but sometimes they are very stubborn. I just leave them out there until I get a chance to walk outside and then I check the hairs around their private area to see if they went. It they're wet, we go in. If not, I give them the potty command again and they go. It won't take long for him to learn a potty command. The one year old we just adopted learned pretty quick and he had no potty training at all. Just pick one or two words to say all the time when you want them to eliminate and KEEP repeating it until they go. Then praise like crazy/treat. He will catch on. Good luck! |
