Piper is 4 yrs and housebreaking has been on-going for this last year (since I got her). Of late, she has been doing really well and I attribute her finally deciding she will go outside to her favorite treat, USA chicken jerky. She no longer has 'accidents' when I'm the shower and she awakens me with little gar-ruffs if the need arises. When I come out of shower, I take a look around then very excitedly ask "Did you do good? Did you do good, Piper? Yes, you did..." and give her a little, little piece of chicken jerky. Seems to have triggered some kind of breakthrough for my stubborn, willful, totally adored Piper-girl. |
