After doing a lot of searching on this site, and asking questions I found I was doing a lot of things wrong myself, and have tried to correct them. So far, its working out pretty good.
The crate I bought Venus was way too big. I sectioned off the crate, to where she just had room to stand up, turn around and lay down. .
I made an x-pen, large enough for her crate, food outside the crate, and pe pad in another corner, outside the crate. Crate is used for sleeping only, no pee pads, and no food in it. I now leave the crate door open, so she can lay down when she wants to.
The first night, she played with the pee pad, laid on it, and everything else. But the next morning when I woke up, she'd used the pee pad for #1 and #2. So I am seeing a lot of progress here, and its only been like 3 days.
Good luck, and I'm sure others will have suggestions too. And hey, there are some smart folks here! |
