When I put in the doggie door my guys were good about it when they were confined to the kitchen, but when I let them in the living room, it was a different story.
Just because they know not to pee in one room does not mean they know not to pee in every room. they don't make that connection.
Mine were also trained to a pee pad, so when I let them in the living room, I would put the pee pad down. I only let them in there when they were supervised. They still do not have free run and they are 8 1/2 months and 10 months.
Now I notice that they do go out the doggie door even when they are in the living room.
My suggestidon would be to expand their territory gradually, add the kitchen first and when they do OK there, add the lving room.
Take it slow and be very patient. They will learn if you keep at it. |
