They don't know ahead of time that they need to go until they are like 5-6 months. Then they have to learn to "tell you" when they need to go. Best you can do is let her out every 30 mins and teach her to go on command that way you know she is empty. It will start to get better. We invested in a good steam cleaner in the beginning and that way we didn't get upset about it since we didn't have stain probs, that sucker (ha) just cleaned it right up!
Loki is a year now and he goes to the door and stands there when he needs to go out. If I realize he hasn't gone in a while I ask "Loki, do you need to go outside??" in a really happy voice and sometimes he will go to the door and sometimes he will ignore me. But I just remind him :-) It will get better!! |
