You said she was never train right in the first place so you have to start from the begining with her as if she was a puppy....keeping her confined, taking her out every 2 hours, taking her out after she eats, sleeps, plays just like a puppy...don't give her a chance to have an accident and 6 weeks really is that long no dog will be pottied trained in that time frame, it takes months...setting them up for success is the key and that starts with you!!! |
Oops I just read your first post again and I missed her age sorry about that...she is only 8 mos old...she is still very much a puppy...and 4 hours inbetween potty breaks is way to long...My puppy is 18 weeks and doing great with the potty training but I take him out every 2 to 3 hours and I'm pushing the limit with 3 hours.
