Yorkietalkjilly, thank you! I have been doing all of this, except confining her. I will certainly give it a go! She has been improving. She will, quite often, go to the door when she wants out. But it's just a few seconds, so if you blink...so I think she is starting to get the idea. I just really wanted to get her going before it became cold. Maybe, hopefully, since she is starting to understand, it will be a smooth ride
. I understand accidents, it's the frustration of when they seem to actually go INSIDE to potty that is so aggravating! She has a doggie playpen. i will place it in the room i am in so i can keep an eye on her better and watch for signs. Wait....should i not remove her to go outside if she shows signs? should i leave her the whole 30 to teach her to hold it?
Again, thank you for the helpful advice.
