I have trained mine to use a pee pad since she was about 8 weeks old and she will pee outside if we are out there playing. Although she still has accidents. Now I have to keep the pads in the same place so she know everytime where to go, she will get confused if they are moved. Everytime I would see her start to go I would tell her no! and put her on the pad. The only problem I have is she will not poop on them unless by accident. She loves to hide and poop. I have tried to train the same way as I trained her to pee but she will hold it in until she can sneak past me and hide. Any suggestions?
PS. She will pee in her crate on the pee pad but will not poop. She will hold her poop until she is let out of the crate. Of course now she very seldom gets in her crate, she sleeps with us and has run of the living room & kitchen until we get home. My husband who hates inside dogs, actually likes this one maybe because we have had her from a puppy and he gets to help in the training department. So he thinks leaving her cooped up all day in a crate is horrible, so he lets her run in the house. Wish he would have been that way with my other Yorkie-Gidget, who I still me dearly. |
