| help!!! Ok Zsa Zsa is potty training....wow I never expected it would be soo hard and she is soo darn sneaky lol. Well... she was paper training when she came to me, but she would not really use the pad for me. If I put her on the pad when she was fixing to potty she would go on the pad but not any other time. I would have to pick her up and sit her on the pad and she would be standing right next to it. So I decided to train her to go outside because she liked to follow Pixie out there, and I thought she would catch on easier with Pixie going outside.... but she has not. This is her schedule...I take her out at 5:30 am and nothing.... I keep her in her bed until I take her back out every 15 minutes.... nothing. So I set her up to feed her around 8:00 am and she has enough room to eat and drink and then I turn to put the breakfast dishes away and she has pooped and peed on my floor. I am so mad then because I had repeatly taken her out. So I cleaned it up and let her finish eating. I then take the food and put her to bed for 15 minutes... take her out and nothing, back to bed for another 15 nothing. I play with her and hold her and keep taking her out every 15 minutes until noon and nothing. I think well maybe she just dont have to go... so I feed her and this time I sat there and watched her. I then put her to bed for 15 minutes and then take her out and she still hasnt pottied. I keep this up until the kids get home at 2:15 and my daughter gets her out of her bed and doenst take her out and she pees and poops on my carpet. Man I am so upset.... I fed her supper at 6:00 pm and she still hasnt peed or pooped. She holds it until she can go on my carpet or my tile. I get so mad and now I see how the spots that she has left me through out the kids rooms. I try to keep her in certain areas but the kids carry her to other rooms to play and she sneaks and does her business and they dont tell me. ugh.... I am leasing this house and I am sure I will never get the spots out completely. I also hate keeping her in her bed but I read the training book and it says to do so.... well it has been 2 weeks and nothing. I dont know if I am doing something wrong... she is 5 months old now. Any suggestions would be helpful... I have taken her poop outside and showed her. I have used the cleaner to get the smell out. I took the pee pads away, not that she really used them. I would treat her if she uses the potty outside. Good thing I love her little furbutt lol....

| I hope some one replies to your post!!! I am having the SAME problem!! Only I have keep up with the potty pads. She will go on it when I see her start to go on the floor. Sometimes if I know she has to go I put her on the pad and then she wont go at all. She will wait and then go on the floor. Very very frustrating. I feel your pain. She is good all night I can get up with her and put her on the pad and she will go but during the day forget it. Someone please HELP us both!!! I have even tried the puppy trainning spray that is suppose to make her go where she smells it at. Yah right does not work!!!!

| How long do you stay out with her? Sometimes puppies will not go instantly when you take them out especially since they don't know they are suppose to go outside. Another thing you may try, since she is paper trained. When you take her out, put a piece of paper outside on the patio(never seem to work on grass) and see if she will go on the paper. Also for inside need, you can put the paper on top of the pee pee pad and see if she will go on the paper on top of that. |

| I leave her outside for 15 minutes or longer.... even take her walking and still nothing she usually just lays on the concrete and goes to sleep. I took the paper and the pee pad outside on the patio and she just lays on it. I have put her poop on the grass for her.. She eats two times a day, sometimes she will eat three times a day. But now when I take her out she will not potty but then I put her in her bed she will poop in that. Wow I have the smallest bed you can buy...she is 5 months old now. I do the routine to a tee and repeat the same thing everyday.... I am going to block the back of her kennel and see if this helps.... wow what a little pooper....hahaha I have to laugh because she is just like training a toddler to quit using diapers. I will keep trying what I am doing now but any suggestions would be appreciated.
