 Coco and pee pads
My little Coco is about 3 months and she's about 90% potty trained on the puppy pads. I think animals instinctivelly will go outside but it's the indoor puppy pad training that's hard. My little Coco likes to pee every 30 minutes, because she drinks a lot of water and has a lot of energy. So running around so much gets her tiny bladder working. So every 25 minutes or so I place her on the pad and she tries to run and I bring her back on it. She just looks at me and says, "fine have it your way" and pees right on it. Other times she just goes on it by herself when I'm not paying attention. But for the most part I'm always following her and keeping my eye on her. If I see her sniffing a lot,I bring her immediately to the puppy pad. If she goes on the carpet, I let the puppy pad soak it up so she can smell it on there next time. I also clean the carpets a lot so she doesn't go in the same places on there. Once the scent is gone, she won't remember that that's where she went last. I am very much a strict mama about potty trianing. While I don't get mad at her for accidents, because she is just a baby, I do say a nice stern NO! and clap my hands, when I see her squat. I quickly rush her to the pad. It's usually too late but it's the idea I want her to learn. I hope this helped. It's ok Stewiesmom, my mom is the same way. Loves her but also loves her carpets to be clean. |
