When you take her out and she doesn't pee, put the divider in the crate, only big enough for her to turn around and sit, turn around and sit. Then wait a couple minutes and take her back out. Give her lots of praise for peeing outside. If you're inside, keep her on a leash that's attached to you, no longer than about 10 feet. Keep her in line of sight and as soon as she looks like she's going to pee take her out. You might have to make a loud noise to stop her from peeing before you take her out. That's what worked for me.
You're right, it was very time consuming. I work a lot of hours and all my other time was devoted to potty training. It was exhausting. Also, I agree with the other poster that mentioned when you should be clued in to taking her out. My pup would stop playing with his toys and start sniffing around. That's when I knew to take him outside.
Bos took longer than all my other dogs to potty train. Now he only poops in the house if he has diarrhea, and that's because I leave him out at night and he wakes up and goes to poop by his crate when his tummy starts bubbling. |
