I keep a pee pad or newspaper in my bathroom. At night they can get down and go when they need to. I have newspaper down in the laundry room they use during the day. They are not fully trained, I have been very lax but I have found that if I catch them doing their business on the paper and praise them for it, we have fewer accidents. Some of them are shy about me catching them so I have to wait until they are done. Lacijo is one of them and if I even look at her, she will leave the room and go somewhere she shouldn't. But if I see her coming out and start to praise her she will come to me wagging her whole little body. I'm not sure she understands so sometimes I pick her up and show her what she did and tell her what a good dog she is to go on the paper. I make a big fuss over it and anyone watching would think I'm nuts but I think it works. Sylvia |
