Potty While Traveling This past weekend I traveled by car with my 4 month old puppy baby. He did very well sleeping most of the trip. It was roughly 6 hours total with stops every 2 hours. He is still being house trained to potty on pee pads (we live in a high rise city area) and is doing quite well. With this in mind, I've never taken him outside to pee. So when we got to the rest stop he didn't know what to do. I even put out a pee pad on the ground and he still didn't go. Once we got to our destination, I set up his portable pen and pad in my mom's house and he went right away (much more pee than usual). He did the same thing on the way back home. No barking or crying either. Tomorrow we are traveling on a 3 hour flight. Our hotel room will probably not be ready right away if he decides to hold his pee like he did in the car. What do you recommend I do to help him understand it's okay to pee outside? |
I always take the pee pads with me. I put it on the backseat floor and put Tessa on it and tell her to pee and she does. When I work at the flower shop and when we go to someone else's house I put the pee pad in the bath room floor put her down on it tell her to pee and close the door. Later when I come back for her she has peed. Tessa is 3 yrs old she has always used the pee pad I don't like putting her on the ground where other dogs have gone. Just keep trying they're quick to learn. ;) |
We travel frequently so I started early with Cali. The only uses piddle pads. I would take her to the pad first thing in the morning, or after she had eaten, and put her on the pad and tell her to potty. I keep standing there until she goes then make a big deal about it and give her a treat. Then after she was used to it I would watch closely and give her a treat every time she used the pad. I would keep training her to go on command, and give good treats and praise. So now she will go anywhere I put a pad down. When we change planes on long trips, I take her into the restroom and go into the handicap stall, put the paper down and tell her to go potty. The. I throw the pad where ever people are throwing away their diapers And off we go. Problem: she has not always distinguished between a throw rug and a potty pad:D Good luck! |
