Duchess is pad trained plus she still goes outside. I pad trained her because some times I don't come home straight from work and I wanted her to have a safe place in the house to relieve herself. It would seem cruel to me to have her hold it for long periods of time.


You can also setup a webcam to monitor her to see how she is doing and then you can make corrections as needed. Fortunately for me, Duchess just went to sleep after I left for work. Webcam was a big help, it gave me some piece of mind knowing that she didn't have separation anxiety and that she was okay alone. I use to leave the TV on but she really didn't care. Now I have a cat and they tend to keep each other company while I'm at work.
