The key is to pay really close attention and give the treat ASAP for the good job. Kind of like when your kids look at you and you know what they did...good or bad.... You have the same ability with your dog. You just have to cultivate it! I must have made 50 trips to the pee pads checking on her initially. Now I just know the look. She knows I have to go inspect first before she gets her treat. Use the same word for what ever your dog did. Annie knows 'potty' is for pee and 'poopy' is for the poop. Be consistent in you wording as dogs like repetition. |
