When they are young puppies you need those pads to be where ever you put the puppy. They can't even start to hold back urine until they are 16 weeks old so you need to have her by a pad at all times. Give her a treat when she uses the pad so she knows she is doing the right thing. A treat works in any language.
I kept a pee pad in the bedroom when Gracie was a puppy because she slept with me. Then I only had to set her on the pad if she woke up at night. If you limit her activities when she is awake to just one room where the pad is near by you will have better success. Of course you need to be right there with her to help navigate her to the pad if needed. Once she gets to be about 5 months old you can slowly start cutting down on the pads.
They do learn much faster when you reward them with a small tasty treat when they get it right. Don't scare her or yell at her if she plays with the pad because that will confused her. Just say no and remove her. Give her something else to play with. |
