Yes, it is a lot of work. My Cookie Boy was totally trained then I got him a mate --Miss LaQuita Evans- and Cookie boys training was out the window.
Now, I take them out and watch their behavior and it is getting better and better. I dont mean to offend you in any way whatsoever, but it sounds to me from your post that she spends more time in the cage then interacting with you. I notice from experience--and again--without judgement--that when I am on the computer or doing something while not paying attention to them they become very destructive and mischievious and they positively do it for attention. These are like babies, not dogs, and require alot of attention and time. If you love them, it is very rewarding, they are the greatest breed in the world, but they are like young children. The time you put into their training is so rewarding, but if you are not dedicated, you will not get results.
Your baby will be so happy to get out of that cage, she will be totally chaotic. I saw this with my cousin Bruno's yorkie-Lady. I have a huge house and keep them confined to about 2,000 square feet, with a wee wee pad in the kitchen. I take them out in the morning, have a neighbor take them out 2x in the afternoon, I take them out when I come home from work, and before we go to bed. They will let me now when they need to go out.
I wish you alot of luck, If I could do it ANYBODY could do it!!!
