The problem is she seems to think that the litter box is a bed.
She sleeps in a crate in our room by our bed until we get up in the morning and then one of us takes her to the bathroom with us. She just sits in the litter box or lays down and then gets up and squats and pees on the floor. I tried buying the spray and spraying it on the pads but it doesn't interest her in the least.
I was proud of her for going in the bathroom but am worried about the pee smell soaking in to my wood floors. She is only 8 months old I have only had her since she was 5 months. We live in Michigan so it gets pretty cold or I would just settle with her going outside.
Can someone give me some ideas on how to get her to recognize the litter pan as her potty?
Oh and I do take her and her business to the pan every time she goes on the floor.
Thanks alot. |
Sadie (my adult) has been a hard nut to crack with house training..for the most part she would go on the pee pad but, SEVERAL accidents in the house..pretty much where ever she felt like going...Sadie NEVER liked the litter box. I tried the dog litter (she ate it) and a pee pad..she would just jump out of the litter box. I have been out of work now since May...I have been training her to use bells, hanging on the door. Everytime I bring her out she will do her business and then she gets lots of praises and a treat. She still has accidents from time to time but doing much better.
Lillie came to live with us in August. She was 8 weeks old..she would jump out of her bed and go right to the pee pad..I also tried putting the pad in the litter box and like your little one...she would lay in it. sometimes she would use it but, I don't know if it's because she actually had to "get into" it that made her uncomfortable so....I put the pads on the floor. Lillie is very good about using them...I'm not saying she doesn't have accidents because she does but, not many. I don't use the paper pads...I use the cloth reusable pads and they are working out fine...the paper pads are too small (I think) Yorkies have never been known for "easy house breaking"
Good Luck!
