In the beginning you have to watch them like hawks. As soon as she is done eating and everytime take her outside and say go potty. when she does do the pee pee dance. And tell her she is the best thing since sliced bread.
If you catch her pee or poo in the house gently pick her up say "no, outside" I used to pick up Chance's poo and take it outside and put it in the grass.
He caught on rather quickly but he was little and if I ignored the signs he would poo in the house. So we started bell training so I could hear him ring the bell to go outside. It took alittle of the pressure off of having to watch him.
If she goes outside then you know you can let her run around alittle in the house and not have to worry as much. But don't be fooled. Chance would go pee then two mins later need to go back out to poo.
Developing a routine is very helpful also, then you will start to recognize that your baby pretty much will go potty at the same times everyday if you have a feeding schedule.
Crate training is the best way to teach them to hold thier pee and poo. Chance is 7months old and accidents are few these days. Good luck and remember it takes time. Chance did not hold his poo all night until he was 6 months old. and still every morning he runs outside to poo at 6am sharp. |
