I am sure it is because the breeder had her in an area with linoleum and she learned that was where she needed to go. I have had here since she was 10 weeks old and she is now 5 months and we are still working on it. I though maybe there might be some great trick I did not know about. She is my first puppy I have ever had a problem potty training. Our 7 year old Shelty goes out there and I thought that might help her get the idea, but so far it has not worked. She will use the doggy door to go in and out just fine....but does not want to potty while she is out there. Seems to think it is just to get her outside to enjoy the fresh air. : ( |
It just takes time and patience. Most dogs aren't fully potty trained until 8 or 9 months. When you bring her back inside are you giving her full run of the house? When you see her go in the house are you telling her a firm no? Giving treats and lots of praise when she goes potty outside?
