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. |
Well I don't have any kids but I do know the looks. I tell her to go "potty" for both. I never thought about calling each something different. I will try that and see if it helps her understand. Every time she does potty in her pee pads I always have given her a treat and she does seem to understand it some. But I'm guessing she forgets at times.. She typically stays in her x pen but I let her out every now and then. She's really small and can get underneath all the furniture.. Thank you for your advice
