I say simply outside train them. My Max was litter trained when I got him, but it is just not my thing. It, in my opinion, gives them the ok to use the house as their potty. They never learn bladder or bowel control. It took me about 3 weeks of intense training and he is pretty reliable at 10 months. He still is confined during the day when I'm not home and crated at night. He understands "go Potty outside" and goes right to the door. Let me tell you, if you have been watching the news, I live in central NY and we have had 100 inches of snow in the last week. Max goes out rain , shine, subzero, and snow. Nothing bothers him! He is never out more than a couple of minutes because he knows to do his business. Pick one method and stick to it. Outside works for me. |
