I want my pup to be potty pad trained so my goal may be different. The first thing I would do is buy an expen that your dog can't get out of. I would put that up wherever I want the dog to potty. At night I would crate her but put the crate where you can see her and touch her. Give her a blanket or shirt that has your scent on it. First thing in the morning take her wherever you want her to potty and let her take her time caged in the area where you want this to happen. The good thing about potty pads and expens is you can leave her there inside the house where she is safe. I only crate my pup at night, she is right next to my head. During the day if I leave I put her in the expen with water, toys, her bed and potty pads. Good luck! |
