Thanks for all your advice. She has not gone in her crate the past couple of nights. She cries when she needs to go so I take her out. For peeing she has been going on the pad herself, but for pooping she goes around the whole house and sniffs. When I notice her doing this I put her on her pad. Sometimes she stays on the pad and goes. Other times she runs off (so fast that I have a hard time catching her) to other places of the house and tries to go. I pick her up and keep putting her on her pad until she goes. As soon as she goes she looks at me o be praised and waits for a treat. She has been at my parents since I have gotten her. I will be taking her to my apartment today, so I will have to see if she is still good over there. She might be confused at first, but I think she will learn quickly. I want to train her to go outside, but she shivers too much. Is it a good idea to wait until the weather is warmer or should I start training her now? Also, should I train her to go both inside and outside? This way if it is raining or too cold for her then she can go on her pad.
I have been crate training her and noticed how much she loves her crate as long as she can see me. When she can't see me she cries. I open the door so she is free to come out, but she goes to the far back letting me know she doesn't want to come out. I am so glad she loves it in there. |
