Hi all - Chloe is doing really well! We're getting better every day with potty training and better every night with staying in her kennel without crying..
She has learned that if she rings the bell she gets to go outside....and usually she just wants to lay out...she doesn't have to potty lol

However, here is my delimma: I give her a treat every time she goes potty outside. Well in her kennel there's a pee pad on one side so that if there is an emergency she can go there - which she has learned to do instead of going on the carpet. I noticed the other day Chloe would start squatting, but not peeing and come over to me for a treat...of course I thought this was hilarous and told her she had to actually potty to get the treat.
Well now she'll squat, pee, get a treat....and five minutes later squat and pee again so she can get another treat. Is she making herself pee so she can get a treat? Or is there an issue that's more serious??

Chloe goes to the vet on Friday for her second round of boosters...so I'll ask, but I just wanted your opinion!

Other than the peeing, she is acting normal.

Thanks!!
