Thought I was in the clear.... Misty used to stay in a playpen with a peepad for her first year when I was away. Well I eventually wanted to train her to go outside. So I took her out to pee/poo for 3 weeks through the dog door installed, once in morning, once during my lunch, once when I got home (treats after each time). After 3 weeks I started not guiding her out and found that she went on her own so I was finally able to leave her to roam in the living room while I was away! :) I was sooooo happy and relieved! Well after a whole month of absolutely ZERO accidents (I was in heaven:angel2dl:), she started to poop in the house since 4 days ago when it started raining. Well now it's not raining anymore and not only am I finding poop I found pee when I came back during lunch! Soooo disappointed! :( Now I feel like I have to go back to square one. Is she ever going to be fully trained? :(:(:( |
Yes she will. Sometimes they need a little reminder. Since she has been trained on potty pads & then outside, she's had a lot to think about. And then the rain comes. Start again by showing doggie door, when she goes through it you go out with her with treats & lots & lots of praise. Well, the rain, good luck with that. I have to make Ruger go out in the rain with me & an umbrella. He never goes by himself anyway. |
With consistency, yup, she *will* get there :)! |
Hang in there it does get better. Just remind her and she will be okay. Would it be possible to have her use the potty pads indoor and still potty outside? I don't have a doggy door but my little one goes potty outside and she uses the potty pads indoors. I work from home but there are days I have to go into the office and I am away from home all day. Thankfully she uses her potty pads when I am not home to take her outside. I like the idea of creating a safe space for them to potty when I am not at home. I know I how I feel when I have to hold it, so why put them through that. For me it solves two problems, I don't have to get up in the middle of the night to take her potty and I don't have to worry about bad weather. |
Thanks for the responses guys! :p UPDATE: now my older dog is following suit and pooping/peeing in the house. What is going on?! :( I have been taking them out every few hours but right when he got in the house he poops. He used to be so good for years! :mad: |
