Courtney, I never put Teeka or Tatiana in a kennel to potty train. I know some do and it works for them. Tatiana is pad trained & also goes outside to potty. First of all your baby is only 13 weeks old and such a baby, yet. You should not expect it to be potty trained already. When I started training to the pad, I would take her after eating, after she wakes and after play time. You have to be diligent and watch them closely for signs that they have to potty....like getting nervous, sniffing for a place or starting to squat. Quickly take her to her pad and say "potty" if she tries to leave take her back and repeat until she goes.....praise her and say good girl go potty. If you are consistent, she will get the idea. She will have accidents and forget, just because she is a baby! Watch her constantly....if you can't then keep her in a small area with her pad. I am a stay at home grandma, so maybe it was easier because I am always here. Tatiana is almost 6 months and pretty well trained! She has had no accidents for the last month except this week. She has been sick with vomiting & diarrhea and is not always able to get to the pad on time. I can tell she feels bad when she has an accident. It will get easier!
