After the better part of a year trying to housebreak her, Piper is very good when I'm home--even waking me up to let her out. And though sometimes when I return home after work, house is pristine, other times it's a barn! I swear these little characters can be very obstinate and sometimes I think Piper purposely doesn't use pad, cuz she gets her little feisty little attitude "I don't want to and I don't have to and I won't!" After all, I'm the one who gets to go to work all night!! Routine when going out and when fed and consistency and big, big praise will all work in your favor, but it may take time! |
