the first few days when i took yoshi outside we'd be out there for the better part of an hour, and i think i said "go pee" at least 64546546m3645636346 times (no exagerration. u think i just smashed the keyboard w/ my hands, but thats really how much it was). my mouth seriously hurt from saying it. i also made sure he drank an ocean about 2 or 3 minutes beforehand or went right out after crating for a few hours or crating at night. i think it might help to either pump him full of water beforehand, or have him confined in his crate where he wont want to go so his bladder fills but he holds it directly before taking him outside.
after i finally got him to go pee outside, i tried to act like he had just saved the world and i gave him a treat he really likes. a month or two into it now, he is still going inside sometimes when i am not paying attention (he's not nearly trained yet), but he knows when he goes outside part of the deal is he is supposed to pee, so its like 5-10 seconds from the door to the grass and into pee stance. then he races over to me lookin for his reward, which half the time is a treat now and half the time is just lots of praise. hope this helps, take care |
