 Doggie Doors and Potty Training
So crate training is really good and helpful and works great for my pups, but I have a question regarding doggie doors. Are they a bad idea then if we are talking about schedules and consistency? We have a doggie door and all the dogs use them - to go play outside, to talk to the neighbors, and to go potty.... Even my little Miss Izzy (1 yr/3 lbs), however, even though she loves going in and out of the doggie door, she is terrible about being consistent in using it to go potty. Sometimes she will go out to go potty and sometimes she won't. I've trained the others that if they go outside to potty, they get a treat and they do great with it now, however, it doesn't seem to make a difference to Izzy... any suggestions? |
