Maybe she can not hold it as long because she is so small. I know that they say the smaller they are the more often they must be let out. Mine had troubles with the pad for a while also. She would go on the floor when the pad was messy. That is why we kept everything in the pen. I did not have the messes all over the house and it was sort of like crate training her. Once she learned to use the pad then we took the pads outside and taught her to go outside. No she is much better and the pen is outside in case she wants to enjoy the sun. I wish you the best of luck these next two weeks. Just hold strong. They say to let them whine. She will get it. It just might take a little longer than your other dog. Try putting ear plugs in and then you will be able to sleep throu the night. I am here if you need any advice or just to vent.
Wait until your pup is a year old and then you can either feed her once a day or take that one feeding and divide it in half to give a little in the morning and a little at night. I always give mine some in the morning to give her energy and then I give her a little at night to keep her stomach full. I tell myself that it will help her sleep. I think I just feel guilty only letting her eat once while I eat throughout the day.
Good Luck |
