Venus has a pen in the kitchen. I have pee pad on one end, and food, water and toys on the other end. Took a few days, but she's going on the pads now, since I confined her to the smaller area instead of the whole kitchen. Now first few days, she played with the pads, chewed them, laid on them, you name it!
I also crate her at night, and put the crate beside my bed, so I can hear her whine to go outside before an accident happens. Crate needs to be just big enough for them to stand and turn around in. Any bigger and they will potty at one end! I had to block off one end since her crate was too big. Soon as she's completely trained, she'll be sleeping with me and Adonis, my 5 year old yorkie.
When we go out, and she potties, I say "good girl" and give her a treat. Her treat is my 5 year old Yorkies food, lol. She now watches me to see if I'm watching her potty, and comes straight to me for her "reward" for pottying outside.
I hope soon I can let her roam the kitchen again. I tried that once, and my kitchen must have been too big. She wasn't pottying on the pads. |
