THEN, and only then, she had the run of the house. (Then, we did the same all over again in the afternoon!) It only took a few days and now she goes right away - if she has to. In the morning when I get up she goes from my bed right into her kennel until she's ready to go out, then she'll let me know.
Hope this helps. Kathy |
I like the way you think! Ginger came home in November so all of her potty training took place in the cold (we never did the pee pad thing). If it's too cold and she doesn't want to be outside, she just goes really quick! Of course, once we're all bundled up for our longer walks, she fine outside.
If you want your little one to go outside, just stick to it.
