I'll sure be watching this thread. I have a four month old and she will only use her newspapers in her pen to go potty. She very rarely goes outside. I've caught her twice and praised and gave her treats but she still prefers to go on her papers. I take her with me to our kids baseball games, she'll be outside for a couple hours and won't go until we get home and then she runs to her papers. I've tried putting papers outside and everything. She has two other dogs to hang out with outside and obviously sees them going out there so I thought she'd realize that she should too.
It's funny though, cause she must be watching them, cause she has started to go potty on the paper, come out of the cage and scratch the floor to cover it, like the other dogs do with grass outside. Silly puppy! |
