I did several things when we adopted Ally. First, I put a superyard xt in the back yard, which became her potty pen. Every time we went outside, she went inside it and I wouldn't let her out until she went. Lots of praise and she learned fast that when she went, mommy would let her out. I do remember times that I walked her around the back yard trying to get her to go, but for the most part, the potty pen worked great. Second, I picked up her food at around 7 pm. Third, After many months of surprises in the kennel in the morning, I moved Ally upstairs beside my bed. That was the best miracle of all. It worked great when we adopted Tia also. Good luck, you'll have to find what works for you and your baby. I think it is different for different pups. |
