If you use pads or paper you then have to get puppy to learn to go outside so why not just start with outside. |
I work a split shift so I leave the house at six thirty but I am back at eight thirty....so my little Jazzi can hold herself for that long. But if I am gone all day, the potty pads would come in handy, that is, if she would always use the potty pad. She will go on it sometimes but at other times go on the floor. We take her outside when she wakes up from a nap, after she plays for a while....and about thirty minutes to an hour after she eats. I take her to the same place in the yard and I just say "Potty" until she does something. Then I have her ring a bell before I open the door to come back in. If she did number two "we call that big potty" then we "wipe our butt" when we come in. I just keep saying over and over while I am getting the wet wipe "Let's wipe our butt....let's wipe our butt..." and she waits and lets me wipe her then she gets a treat. If she does not potty....no treat....
