Hey, when you are cold everything clinches up, right?

We can't say enough about the use of a crate, a good schedule, and lots of praise. Ciara was so easy to train, but Mom took her out on a leash once an hour and told her to "go potty" - heaped on lots of praise. Yes, we had lots of inside accidents but only for a short time. She learned very quickly. Of course, Mom thinks she learned from her older brothers - just part of the pack.<br /><br />Today she did something really funny. We had a/c workers in the yard and they had dismantled part of the fence. She hadn't been out for several hours and really had to go. The workers had fixed the fence. So Mom was getting her to the door and was trying to get Ciara's panties off. One of the grandkidlets opened the door and before Mom could get the pants off, Ciara took off, squatted, and peed right through the pad and the panties. She knew she wasn't supposed to go inside, but didn't know she had to take her pants off first before going outside. So well trained:)<br /><br />Woos - Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara♥♥ The OP Pack ♥♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/07539957828544908415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932846146573196046.post-28596465301837402652010-05-27T18:01:44.215-07:002010-05-27T18:01:44.215-07:00When Lily was a baby at times she pee peed next to...When Lily was a baby at times she pee peed next to the pad, so not to get it dirty.

Both Brudder Ranger and me were grown up when we got adopted and we had both lived outside so we were used to using the outdoors as our potty area. Still, I had a coupla accidents in the house. (Brudder Ranger didn't cuz he's perfect and all.) But I thinks you're very much right that it's all about consistencys!<br /><br />Wiggles & Wags,<br />MayzieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932846146573196046.post-44689255247098463722010-05-27T14:26:30.073-07:002010-05-27T14:26:30.073-07:00One other tip from my trainer was to give our pupp...One other tip from my trainer was to give our puppy a treat every time he/she went potty in the designated place outdoors. It does seem to help quite a bit.<br /><br />But, then, there are the tricksters. Take K - she learned as a tiny puppy to squat and pretend to pee so that she'd get a treat. This led to the very funny scene of me peeking from behind her to try to detect if she actually peed each time she squatted. I'm glad that we live in a secluded spot where no one could see me doing that!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932846146573196046.post-5515053900628756442010-05-27T14:16:53.355-07:002010-05-27T14:16:53.355-07:00Good article Twinkie...when I was a pup, I was rel...Good article Twinkie...when I was a pup, I was reluctant to go outside and had to spend alot of time in the backroom with a gate on the door. Now I am allowed everywhere cause mom took the black light and didn't find any pee places at all. Mom hopes my new brother (when he comes home) will be easy to train also.<br />Wags,<br />DracoDraco and his Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107029948458091832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932846146573196046.post-73531205996049622722010-05-27T14:16:51.499-07:002010-05-27T14:16:51.499-07:00Wooos Twinkie, woo could move south like me, wher...Wooos Twinkie, woo could move south like me, where it is always warm....<br /><br />~husky kisses~<br />-Kira The BeaWootifulthe magic sleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757293678354960424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932846146573196046.post-42113733069508179572010-05-27T14:05:23.252-07:002010-05-27T14:05:23.252-07:00It's like you read my mind...we are potty trai...It's like you read my mind...we are potty training Barkley right now.Sagirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425010202801678906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932846146573196046.post-39968464000248472742010-05-27T13:14:16.556-07:002010-05-27T13:14:16.556-07:00Daaaaang Twinkletoes, you really ARE a smart chiwa...Daaaaang Twinkletoes, you really ARE a smart chiwawa.
