I think when we criticize bad or negative behavior, they get confused and really aren't sure what the right thing to do is. By putting her on her potty pad and wildly praising her when she goes there, she associates your happiness with what she did right.
My DH was getting after our Princess Sophie about going poo on the carpet, every time she did it wrong, he got all mean looking and angry sounding. Then she began going in the hallway around the corner from the den. She was hiding it because she didn't understand what the right thing to do was. When I finally convinced him to try it my way, she came around really fast. She hasn't had an accident in the house for quite some time now.
Good luck!! Your pup will be on the right track soon with some positive reinforcement. |
Okay! but usually by the time I get over there she get's up and runs away afraid. I don't understand why she's so afraid of me
and then yesterday...
...I was doing laundry and she followed me to the laundry room and I went to pick her up and she ran away from me and I got really frustrated that she kept running from me and I ran after and and picked her up and she let out this big welp like she was dying or something I still have that sound stuck in my head. That was the most hurtful thing I probably ever dealt with.
I don't understand why she hates me.
