So its really hard for me to train her when she is doing the right thing for ME..but not anyone else.
I dont have contact with the people I got her from but they were a young couple, lived in the city and not sure what they did for training and unfortuantley cant find out.
I will try the treat thing. I will leave some treats my the door and see if that gets her to go to them, then they can giver her the treat after she goes out and does her business. |
Sounds like a good plan. Maybe you can "train" the family together, have them walk in with you, do not make eye contact or greet the dog, give the agreed command (at my house it's "let's go") escort her out waving a treat, and then command "pee", and give treat. I'm certainly no trainer, but this is my method and it works...... except when we linger at the door. BTW one of my little Morkies cowers, and I swear it is not from abuse. Her sister does not, nor do the other 2 doggies. It is just her personality, and you'd think someone had beaten her.
They are all such unique little individuals, but the best companions ever. Good luck. Hope to see pictures of Mindy..... we love pictures here.
