So it's a constant and on going thing but I'm so aggrivated with this potty training. I took Aubri to Will's new house the other day. Hard wood floor throughout and she whined and went to the door twice while we were there. She was so good. AND went just as soon as I took her out. Potty the first time and poopy the second. WHY doesn't she do this at my house?? And Bella doesn't help the situation. There is always always always poop somewhere in the house when I wake up in the morning. It doesn't matter what time I feed them or how many times they go out. I also find pee spots here and there. So hard to tell who is going in the house. I've tried everything you read about potty training and nothing seems to work. I can't leave them in a crate all day b/c I work and Will works and I can't go home to let them out. I think 9 + hours is just too long for them to be closed up like that. They know what outside is, they get excited when I ask if they want to go out. I praise them when they go outside and always give them a treat when we come back inside. (Aubri is so smart she thinks she should be able to run outside for 1 min and run back in and get a treat lol) anyone have any advice?
All I can add is don't give up on her, I was lucky when training Sassy our JRT and Tank my min-pin buddy----both were trained in a crate and I was working on a cattle ranch and was able to come home at lunch time and would let them go out to potty---Sassy was house broke in less than a week---she would growl at me to let her out to potty or would go to the back door and howl or bark and let me know----Tank was a diff. pup all together---took me over a month to house break him---but I did----every time I would walk in the door I would ask who needs to go out and Tank was allways first in line---he still hates having an accadent in the house----wakes me up in the middle of the night if he needs to go--lol---he nuzzles my ear and makes a low woof sound trying not to wake SuSie---and I know he has to go bad--just keep hanging in there---I talk to my kids like they are people-LOL---both of them cock there heads like they know what I'm saying---DON"T give up my friend------------jack
