Not so much the case in NYC. She used to be trained to pee-pee pads when I first got her, but I haven't really used them with her in years. Should I try to re-train her to these (um how?) or maybe make a potty pad using a washer tray, cat litter, then astroturf on top?
Finally, the good news is that my new work is very dog friendly...the CEO keeps his small dog in the office always, so I'm hoping I can work things out for Jazzy to come along. |
I raised my Yorkies in NYC only recently retiring to the Garden State. I had my weewee pad trained and they actually hated walking in grass and would avoid it at all costs.
If your lucky enough to have a balcony, which I usually was you can train them to do their business there. Super handy. If I had a balcony that the bars were too far apart I rigged something up and attached it to the inside. On was a baby gate I deconstructed and strapped in place. Most of the balconies had something already in place or were designed. My Lola used to love to sunbathe out there and I think she got a kick that she could go outside whenever she pleased.
You should not have a problem finding a place for her to go, but if she's used to every four hours it's probably best to figure out something indoors. Four hours goes by in a flash in that city, you won't want to be out and worried about her.
Keeping my fingers crossed she gets to work to work with you! That would be so awesome!
