Years ago I got a holder, but Sophia wouldn't use it. Well, with two little ones soon I decided to reintroduce them to her. Peyton is already using a holder at the breeders.
So, today I looked and she went poo on the pad, but piddled on the carpet
right next to it.
She so knew she did wrong. I said "Sophieeeee" in the voice I use when I am correcting her. She took off and ran behind the couch. I continued to clean up the spot and she inched her way out. I took her and put her on the piddle pad and told her that she needs to go piddle there, etc. The look on her face! You would have thought that I just beat her! Poor little thing. My being disappointed was devastating to her. (to reiterate, I only scolded her, did not, nor would I hit her!)
So, we are going to work on this the next few weeks. Don't know what it is about the holder.
