 Training
We got our Gracie at 8 weeks. At first, we had some trouble getting the idea of potty training across to her using potty pads. I had her crate pushed up against our glass patio door and I keep seeing her looking out the windows into the yard. She wanted to go outside. One day, I opened the crate door and pushed it up against the open patio door, where she could get outdoors, but not into the room. That worked like a charm. When we saw that she was going outside, we started gradually taking her out on a leash.
She goes to the door now to ask to go out, may bark to let us know...
She is 2 now and very well trained, but the only problem is that she sleeps with us and since she runs this house, she has decided she wants to go out in the middle of the night and afterwards, get a snack or early breakfast..
Initially, we had her bed in her crate and the door open so she could go to a puppy pad. We also tried a Pak N Play; neither was very successful.
