You've gotten a lot of advice here already and I know you can do this. Don't get angry or mad if she makes a mistake. Show it to her, take her to her pad and tell her "good potty". She will get it but it usually take a little while. Tethering her when she's out of her pen (with some free run time after she has potted) is the best you can do. Be consistent doing it the same way every time and you will have a very well behaved puppy in the potty department!! |
I don't plan on leaving her in the pen all day but she is in there right not until she goes potty. She hasn't gone yet and is actually asleep right now. She will be staying in her pen when I am at work for obvious reasons. Eventually when she gets the potty training thing down pact then she can stay out of the pen while I am at work. I will try tethering her. thank you!
