I know there have been 1000000 posts on potty training here, but I have a little bit different of a dilemma. Millie is 3 lbs, so we do not let her go outside by herself because we are scared a hawk or something will get her. She has never been 100% potty trained, but lately has regressed even worse. She CONSTANTLY wants to go outside, way more than she has to use the bathroom, so we stopped taking her out every 5 seconds. So now she is using the bathroom in the house. We are still taking her out PLENTY. But half of the time when we take her out, she doesn't even go. She just wants to be outside! It's so frustrating because my husband and I are very busy, and then we have to wait outside for 5 minutes while she uses the bathroom or either she just sniffs and runs around! I was wondering any other techniques or routines you guys have out there?? We lay the puppy pads out sometimes, but to be honest it's not vey pretty to see them laying around everywhere! She wants to be outside all the time and that's just not an option for us because I would be too worried about something getting her. She just turned two on Sunday, so she is definitely out of the puppy stage. Thanks!
