Ziva was pad trained from the start but a full year to be trained outside- We compromised, she has a potty tray in the garage for rainy days and nighttime, outside otherwise. Abby was just trained to go outside and that took most of 9 months, when I finally trained her to ring a bell. She is 14 months and has decided that Ziva's garage potty tray is a good idea in the rain! Their bladders must be the size of a peanut because they do go often! They are trained to go on command in case I need to go out I like to make sure they are "empty" |
