| Bladder of steel ... or sheer will? Hey guys! Kasha is 14 weeks now & we have been working hard to get her potty trained for the past 3 weeks! We are peepee pad training her. I think she knows where she is supposed to make, because she sniffs the pads ... thinks about it and walks away, then pees somewhere else. I know it's not a bladder control issue because she never wakes up to make at night, no matter if she sleeps in our bed or in hers(the crate). This means she holds it for about 6 hours. I'm fairly certain it's the terrier will-power thing but I was wondering if anyone has any tips for my little monkey. I want her to be able to roam free around the house at least some of the time without worry. I'm sure someone must have had this issue and solved it. Advice, tips or ideas are very welcome! Thanks! |

| This is just LIKE my little girl! She sleeps all night long and never wakes up and will even hold it while I get up and get ready to take her outside. We're not using the peepee pads because she just tears them up. We're bell training and it seems to really help her. She is starting to link the bell with outside. We just put a little peanut butter to get her used to it and ring it whenever she goes outside. I'm not sure if this will help, but maybe she wants to go outside! OH and I forgot to mention, we peepee pad trained our chihuahua and whenever he wouldn't go on the pad, we immediately took him over to the pad and said peepee here. I'd suggest this if you want to keep training her on the pads. As soon as you see her squat, pick her up and say peepee here. Then praise her like crazy!!!

| I wish taking her outside is an option. But we live on the 12th floor & can't take her as much as she needs to go, or should need to anyways. She is one sneaky little girl but I'm trying to catch her squatting so I can move her next to the pad! Got her this morning!! Thanks for the advice! |
