Congrats on your baby. You've been given great advice!
I would also recommend putting an old tshirt of yours in her bed with the snuggle puppy or confined area. It will have your smell on it and it will comfort her when you aren't around (especially at night). My Jack drags my tshirt out of his crate and into his bed in the dining room when he doesn't want to nap in his crate. lol. He loves having it around.
Also, if there is any particular place she likes to relieve herself when it isn't on the puppy pads, place a pad there and lots and lots of praise and treats when she does go on her pads.
Jack is now 16 weeks and so far, he's been accident free for a week and a half. It took a while for him to get the hang of where it is appropriate for him to go potty, but now, even he is proud of himself when he goes on his puppy pads lol.
I also found, the more tricks he learned, the easier it was for him to be potty trained. His obedience was definitely influential.
You seem very attentive and loving and I'm confident that your little girl is in the right hands! Good luck! |
