I've found that taking the pup out to play in the "cold/wet" grass helps them get used to it so that they aren't "scared" to go out and do their business on it.
When I got Blazer this summer it rained almost the entire first week but we were outside constantly so that he got used to the weather conditions as well as the need to do his business out there. I look at the puppy training just like child training- they are learning so much at a time that you just need to make it routine and fun for them. You can't make excuses for them and just have to let them know what you expect of them- but try to keep it fun. Does that make sense?
This sounds great, of course, but we'll have to wait and see how it works out for me once it snows here pretty soon! LOL! Best of luck to you! |
