she started getting the walks and going outside. but she would still pee inside the house!
You might want to invest in an expen, where you can put her when you cannot watch her, with potty pad at one end and bed at opposite end
i took the litterbox away about 2 weeks ago. and now i've been doing more frequent walks. every three hours at LEAST. and at night, i take her out right before i put her in her crate to sleep.
i'm a student on top of all that, & it's finals for the next two weeks. this is draining me so much, i'm trying, but can someone help me out?
how long did it take for you to train your puppy? how old were they? & if you have any advice on what i can do, it would be great!
also: she never goes to the bathroom inside my room, but she always does in the living room if i let her roam free. |
Four months is verrrry young to expect her to be potty trained. One key here is to never let her roam free, if you cannot have your eye on her. Potty training takes consistency and patience. Just curious, why did you take the litter box away? It might be a good way to have her trained if you live on the 4th floor and are not home all the time to let her out/walk her.
How long it takes to be 100% reliable can vary from dog to dog (some in as little as 6 months, some up to two years, and some never 100%) and depends greatly on how much time you devote to potty training. I think it happens much quicker if you are with them 24/7 and focus on the potty training 100%. It takes longer if you work or are gone parts of the day.
