Just a thought:
Annie never wanted to go out so I decided to pee pad train her. My laundry room is right off my kitchen so the pads are in there. I got the grain free blue buffalo tiny bits treats and I break them in half. It's like training a child. You have to watch them constantly and when she went on the pad she got praised and given the small treat. When she poos she gets half of a very small bone she likes. She was a rescue and used to cleaning up the cage she was in so the vet said that she was eating the poop because of that. When she poops, I pick it up right away with toilet paper and flush it. It only took about a week and she was trained! I still have to come look at what she did and give her a treat, but if I forget she's OK with it. She will come and sit by me with that Yorkie stare until I get up and go look to see that she went but she has never had any accidents after the first couple weeks. She's not interested in eating it anymore either as I won't be able to see it and give here a bone.... I use the "Simple Solutions" pads that are scented and have gel to absorb the pee. Since I'm flushing the poop, I don't have any smell problems. |
