And now here I am with Annie (I bought her she is not "home grown") still not trained at 5 1/2 months. I will keep working on her though. She is too sweet to not stay consistent with. |
I think they can learn early as yours did at the vets. Guess they'll all different, one of our adults has a spot in the hall where she'll drop a little nugget - every other day or so, seems to be her "spot", regardless of how well we clean it (we joke & say the pups are better than her). Tonight I came around the corner and caught the one that's not completely potty pad trained starting to squat and I said to him, "what are you doing?" and he got up and ran about 4 feet to the pad and pee'd there and then looked up at me and starting wagging his tail, so I think he "knows", just still little and not in complete control. They have an x pen for sleeping at night with several pads in it, but when they are out of it, we have a potty pad near the doggie dog in the kitchen and one in the living room, they use both.
