Congrats on your new little furbaby!!! No worries!! She is still very young and it would be expected that she has frequent accidents at her age. My Max took a while but he is fully trained at 6 months. The key is consistency. There are many other posts on this site related to potty training which you should check out but here are a few key tips.

-Crate training
- Take her to the same spot every time (if it is a potty pad then keep it at the same place/ take to same place in the yard)

-If you take her out and she does not "go", put her back in a while (15 minutes) and try again

-When she is out of the crate take her to the potty spot every 30 minutes or so if she goes then reward her with more play time or a treat.

-If she has an accident, you must catch it immediatey!! Make her aware of it and give her a firm "No!". Then, take her to the potty spot immediately.


I had to give Max treats for going in the yard because he thinks grass is yucky and does not like walking in it. After he became more successful, I just praised him verbally. Don't give up!! You are at the right place for advice. Good luck!
