Starr is outside potty trained, she will go to the door and bark or look in the direction of the door and bark. She also has a designated indoor wee wee pad location.
This is done for several reasons. The biggest is the weather and we travel. We were in Breckenridge Colorado the week after Thanksgiving, the outdoor temperature was -11 with a -29 wind chill. We had a heavy coat on Starr and booties and she would start shaking so bad it was like when we get the chills. She couldn't stand long enough to go to the bathroom. If she wasn't pad trained, I don't know how she would have been able to go to the bathroom. Snow is terrible, as she can't squat if it snows over a couple of inches.
We are concerned that if we don't keep a pad out and we take her on a trip we will have a problem getting her to go back to the pad. |
