we were out at the pets stores, she was fine, i was expecting her to pee because she had water before we left house, but she didn't. as soon as i bought her home, i put her back in my room. she started the sniffing around, and i know what this means, but for some reason since she wasn't going in "circles" i convinced myself that she was just familiarizing herself with my room. Then she peed. again, i said "NO" as i picked her up and placed her on the puppy pad. this time i cleaned up her mess with the pad and put it beside her crate.
Now she was taking a nap, and when she woke up, i let her roam around my room. my angel started sniffing... she went to the puppy pad and smelled her pee from before on it, and then pooped on it. im so proud of her! i praised her and gave her a little piece of puppy treat.
Now is there anything else i should be doing? eventually i want her fully crate trained, and using outside. But i know that will happen with time. |
I know you already know this but since she is very very young it will take lots of time and patience to potty train. It's like a newborn baby, they just don't have it in them to hold it long. You need to keep her confind and take out onto her pads frequently. Don't expect much because shes only 8 weeks old. This is why she should still be with mom for another few weeks.
Please don't bring her to the pet store or out of the house for any kind of trips unless it's to a vet. She can catch something so easily and DIE! You just got her today she shouldn't be going out at all, she needs to adjust to a new home.
