Opinions needed....URGENT!!! My Lola is 18 months old and completely outdoor trained. My landlord has decided that she must be an INSIDE dog ONLY!! Essentially, I need to train her all over again. What do you recommend? Should I use pads or try to train her to a litter box? She's not a tiny dog. She's 9 pounds. Which do you think will be easier for her?? Any suggestions or recommendations are greatly appreciated. Sheila |
Pee pad, I have always used them. I put them in the rooms that she likes to be in, if she poops or pees, I just take her to the pee pad. Took 3 days. |
I use pee pads , and my Suzi is 10 months, she uses them 90% of the time.. :aimeeyork |
You can buy indoor sod boxes with K9 grass (fake scented anti-microbial grass) There is the pet-a-potty, the throne, the penthouse potty... there are tons of them out there. They are expensive but it would probably be a lot easier for her than pads because it kind of smells and feels like grass. |
I can only imagine that an 18 month old that has been allowed to run outside would be very unhappy being made strictly an inside dog. She could be retrained but still not happy. Sorry to hear about your predicament. If it were me, I'd look for a new place, if possible. |
She's not an outside dog. She goes out only long enough to do her business and that's it. Especially now with our winter. Another 10-18" tonight :mad: |
I had to retrain my Lady when she was nine years old after I was in a car accident and not able to walkher outside for almost a year. I put the pads right by the back door where she always scratched to go out. I used a light Seabreeze expen to put around the pads at scheduled times - after meals, a nap, when she asked to go out, etc. Make sure you stay right with her so you can say "good potty" as soon as she goes so she makes the connection. Then do the happy dance and give her a treat. It took old Lady about three days to learn and she's not the brightest dog I've ever seen! ;) |
I would say use a potty pad and lil bit here on yt sells washable ones that work great. hth! |
I'm just curious whats your landlord's reasoning for this? you'd think he'd be happy that it goes outside and not in his resident?? :confused: |
I don't get your landlord, but I'd put the pee pads next to the door she likes to go out. If she has an accident in the house like pee pee wipe the pee pad in it, so she can smell her own urine, and hopefully will go on them. I hate renting houses, cause you never know what they might come up with. Does it say in your lease no outside dogs? You might want to sit down with your landlord, and explain how much cleaner, and better smelling your apartment would be if she were aloud to go outside. Maybe people in the apartment are letting their dogs out, and not cleaning up the mess? |
I would pad train but if you want to use a litter box put the pad in the litterbox. Your going to have to confine her untill she gets used to using it |
If you have a written contract stating pets ok, then he has no say so where she pees and poos. Why did he say that? To train her on pads you will have to confine her to a small area, bare floor till she gets the idea. I'm so sorry you are having this problem and like what was mentioned before, I'd also find a different place to live. |

Best of luck, Sheila. :) |
She should be able to hold it and still go outside. I mean you can take her for a walk before work and after work. |
I agree, I think taking her for walks so she can go (somewhere else other than the yard, even down the side walk or side of the road is much better for your baby. I think it would be unfair to now tell your baby that she must now eliminate in her home while all this time you\'ve been telling her not to. what happens when you move? The first few days would be agony for her, having to hold it so long that she has an accident. she would be ashamed and upset for being forced to go in the house . Your landlord has no legal right to say you can\'t take your dog for a walk. even a short distance. |
