Please help! I'm trying to avoid puppy pads at all costs unless I am forced to leave her for a long period of time (like when I return to work and school). But this is something that Khloe does not 'dig', even with repetitive exposure, and it will be something that we will need to find a remedy for even when I start back to work. Khloe is very young and already, for the most part, housebroken. But our mornings are rough. I can not control dew. And she absolutely will not take care of business outside with the dew on the grass. I would even be fine with her eliminating on the driveway, but she doesn't seem to prefer that either. I've tried feeding, crating for ten minutes, then taking her outside; no success. I've tried feeding, sitting outside for an hour to see if she would finally give in; no success. I've ran out of ideas, so I'm wondering if anyone has something well that works. Many thanks!
