The one thing I have noticed is that when she gets up off my lap, she will turn around and look at me and that's my queue to take her to the kitchen to her pee pad. So far, we haven't had any accidents....knock wood! |
Thanks! At least I know she's not the only one who doesn't give any signs that she needs to potty.

Haha! That sounds like Kaji when it comes to poop time. He will spin and spin and spin some more. I use to think it was odd, but I'd give anything if spinning was this little girl's thing. At least I'd know she's getting ready to potty. 2 nights ago I spent 1 1/2 hours outside with her trying to get her to go potty. She had not pottied since 1 pm even though I gave her plenty of potty breaks outside. I tried walking with her, running, fetch with Kaji, to see if activity would help her go. Nothing worked.

Tuffy will stand in front of you when he has to go out. With the puppy you're caring for, I'd just stick to taking it "to potty" every hour to hr 1/2. Hopefully you'll pick up on a tell signal soon.
Have fun pupsitting! |
I hope so too! I don't know how much longer I'll be fostering her. I have been able to work on basic obedience with her. She's learned sit and down so far. I'm so proud of her! We've only been training for 3 days. Now if I can only get her to learn her name.
