You can fold one washable pee pad in half and it will fit on one side (RDB911) sells them in bulk at a great price, and she can't shred them. Hook a water bottle on the other side with a bed and some toys. Make that her special place and it'll be great for bed and when you have to leave her for any length of time. You can feed her in there. Give her treats in there. Make it a place she wants to go. |
The first line in this post made me grin...
Is putting a water bottle in there a good idea though? I'm not questioning your input, just wondering if it should maybe be something after she shows more progress. Do dogs eat or drink in stress and anxiety? If so, wouldn't that worsen the situation by allowing her to load up and then have to go when we are trying to get her to hold it and go outside? I'd really like to have her not be one of the types to need the pee pads all the time.
Absolutely no offense or questioning your idea, just letting my ignorance out and needing clarification.
