Things were working out pretty good the first few days until I had to end up taking her to the vet for her constipation (then the real Gia came out). I'm trying to train her on wee wee pads, I have the bottom of the closet cleared out and I have lined it with wee wee pads. She refuses to go there I also have a baby gate in front of my door so she can't leave the room. The closet door is always open for her to go in and out but she still insist on using potty everywhere else. I brought that potty training spray but it doesn't seem to work. I take her back to the potty area every hour or so to remind her. She has pooped in my bed, she pooped in my Mom's bed twice. I don't know what to do, I have moved the baby gate from in front of the door and put it in front of the closet while she's in the closet but she'll just cry cry cry. At night she'll sleep on her bed for a little while but in the middle of the night she'll wake up and cry cry cry,( that's how she ended up pooping on the bed because she can't get down by herself yet).I've also been cleaning up the stains with vinegar & water to take the scent out.
Anyway I'm thinking about signing Gia up for dog training classes (they come in house). Given that Gia has only been here 9 days I can understand if she has a mistake here & there but not all the time.
UPDATE.........Right now I have the entire bedroom lined with wee wee pads I think I have about 15 out right now just so she won't make a mistake on the floor. The trainer is coming Sat at 3pm for an hour, he's supposed to start the process of potty training and to give us some tips because obviously we're doing something wrong (BIG TIME). he's charging 60.00 for an hour (I know it's a lot) but we have to do something I don't want my husband make me give her away |
$60 is a lot, but I think that's avg. for when they come to your house. We found one that is $70/hr, but we really don't need anyone to come to the house so we passed on it.
After you catch her pottying somewhere are you taking her to the pads? I feel bad for you, I would be soo fustrated! Good luck w/ this!
