| Help! Can't get Zoey to pee in the house! I posted this in the main forum, but this is really the place... This is kind of urgent. I bought a little pen and some pads for my 4lb Zoey. She's 5 and was pee pad trained as a pup, but has gone outside since I got her at the age of one. Anyway...we're having a blizzard right now. Just the situation I bought the little pen for. Well. She's refusing to go in the pen since I put her in it at 4:30 this morning. (It's 12:30pm right now.) She hasn't gone since 8pm last night. Sixteen and a half hours!!! I really hate to take her out in the storm. That's the whole point of buying this little setup...just for horrible weather like this. I've walked her around the house, played with her, given her food and water and nothing! What do you guys think? Will she actually hold it until she hurts herself some way OR go when she feels desperate? She just sits there looking sorrowful and bewildered.

| I understand not wanting to go out in the blizzard but I imagine she has to go pretty bad and would go pretty quick if you took her out. Why not just take shovel or broom and clear a small patch for her to go real quick? Maybe you can clear a spot to the side of your house where it's not so windy to make it a little less stressful. Just carry her to the spot you cleared. |

| If she is 5yrs old and has pretty much always peed outside,she is probably very confused as to why mommie isn't taking her out. In her mind she is being a very good girl to not pee in the house. We have had ice storms here and all 5 of mine just run outside,squat and run back in. I usually use a hairdryer on them as soon as they come in. |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | I take Galen out. We just dig a path for him to go. Or you can try putting the potty pad the the garage if you have one. She will not look at it as the house and she might go

| SUCCESS!!!! This morning we have drifts in front of the door. It's going to take a long time to even get the door actually open, lol. Anyway, I put her in the pen this morning, she sniffed her own pee that I soaked it with yesterday, and TA DA! Instant squat and pee. Needless to say, she got megatons of love and praise. Zo is now in her rightful place...on my lap.
