| HELP, with Rascal's box I have been using the Rascal's dog box now for a few months. I really love it but I can not get my yorkie to use it when she is out of the xpen. I have her in the pen for a while a day, when I am gone and she will us the box but when I let her out and leave the door open she will not go back to in to us it and goes on the floor. Do any of you have some ideas to get her to go back in to use it when she is running around the house? Thx |

| Don't give her free run of the house. She isn't house broken yet. Keep her in a confined area without the box. Place a towel for her to sleep on. Make sure the space isn't too big so she won't use one end for a potty. If you have a crate, I suggest using it. Take her out to eat, play, and use the box, but then put her back in the confined area. I take Sydney (3.5-months old) out at 7 a.m. for potty, breakfast, play, potty, play, and crate. At noon, I take her out for lunch, play, potty, and crate. At five, I take her out for dinner, play, potty, and crate. At eight I take her out for water and play. She goes back into the crate at nine. At eleven, she comes out for one more potty break for the night. I got this from the book I bought, How to Housebreak Your Dog in Seven Days. It's taking more than seven days, but it's helping to keep Syd on a schedule. |
