Ally and Tia are both 100% potty trained outside. I think it helped that I was home all day. I put a superyard xt in my back yard when we adopted Ally at 8 weeks. I put her in there to potty and tried not to let her out until she did. Sometimes I ran around the pen to get her excited to make her go. I spent many nights walking her before bedtime also so she would go before she went to bed in her kennel. Praise alot, puppy treats if your baby likes them, and make a word/phrase for potty. Ally soon learned that after she pottied, she could run around the back yard and play. She did not do well in her kennel at night away from me or when we were away from home. When I switched her kennel to my bedroom at night, she was perfect!!!! When we left the house, I put her with our elder pek in the family room (puppy proofed). Although Ally is tiny at just over 3 lbs, she can hold it the longest. Tia did very well also, but recently had an accident in my living room. The terrible recliner scared her to death, she paniced and pooped on my carpet. Other than not feeling well and being scared out of their little bodies, I trust them 100%. Mine did not do well with puppy pads. Ally shreds them and Tia eats/chokes on them! Good luck! |
