 training: Slept, but woke to a poop
Hi- Well, I put FiFi in about midnight. She did not whine or cry (she rarely does). I heard her whine around 5 but I ignored her. She stopped. I came down to her and found a poop in her crate. She then went outside and finished her business. She must have just done it. She doesn't eat or drink late bt she seems to always have to make a late or real early poop. Why is that? Anyway,....since it ws still earlier than i wanted to get up, I decided to just lay on the sofa in the room where the 2 pups are. They ate and played. At one point, I heard a scratch at the backdoor and it was her scratching to go ou. Yea! Usually, I just take her out. I was surprised because usually she will just go to her pad. So....as for tonight,..hmm....i guess i should try and repeat again last night and hope that she doesn't go in it. What hours should i be starting with here? What is a good time to put her in and then take her out? Should Ijust be putting her in now for the full hours that I want or just give her a condensed version for now? I know that she can hold it. Afterall, she has not gone to the bathroom since about 7 this morning and it is now noon. She doens't look like she needs to go yet either. thanks. - kath |
