I have put away the bathroom rugs for now. But I really want to keep down my other rugs. There's one large floor rug in every room (4 total). There are also 3 mats by the doors for wiping feet.

I just know that she can learn this. My Mom's female Yorkie and her toy poodle both figured it out mostly on their own. The toy poodle came years after the Yorkie, so he mostly modeled her behavior. Since Mishka is the only dog in my house, she doesn't have a dog to model after. My parents' dogs do visit sometimes, and I take her to my parents' house to visit.

Maybe I will also try getting my parents to visit with their dogs more often and for longer periods. Then Mishka can watch them use her pee pee pad and NOT go on the rugs.
