I have a question for those that paper train, can you get your dog to potty on command? The last thing I do before going to bed is to put Lola out to potty, and she knows to go. For my last pup that was paper trained I kept a litter box with papers in my laundry room which I could close, so if we were going anywhere or at night before bed I would put him in the room close the door and he would go 99% of the time. But for those of you that have the pads in an area that you can't close up I was wondering how you get them to go potty before going for a car ride or when it's time for bed. |
With Letty, because we crate trained and took her out side first, she has preferred to go out side. She used the potty patch if we missed her signal or honestly when it was freezing in the morning and I didn't want to get fully dressed to go down four flights of stairs in apt. She would wake me up, I'd tell her potty and she'd act hyper like saying yes. I'd carry her to door open/close it and then put her in the patch and say go potty. If she went their was praise and treats. If she didn't go right away I just kept putting her back on it, petting her and encouraging. Was pretty easy honestly. I also only use done potty patch.
My mom uses pee pads all over her house and I think that confuses them. Hers are two now and still pee and poo everywhere. My family has no problems when I brought pee patch over and put where they desired. They felt reassured there would be no accidents.
