Hello! I'm new to YT as well, and this thread has been super helpful! Thanks!! We will try these tips.
Louie is my 8 month old baby and I've had him about 3 weeks. I live in a condo in a highrise so I'm not able to take him outside as much. We are still working on the potty pads but outside seems impossible!! He hasn't gone out ONCE yet! We'll be out there for an hour, after he's had water and he'll just stare at me. When we go for walks I will take him to a spot where I just saw another dog pee and he will sniff it and then move on. I only use the words "go potty" when we're outside or near his potty pad. He seems so confused! We come in and five minutes later he's peed on the carpet. I've read all about praising them and going nuts when they do go outside so they learn but poor Louie hasn't given me the opportunity to do this!!
