O.K. some of you say my tiny toy poodle on the introduction page.
Well, Sassy actually housebroke in about 3 days after I ask the question about that. We just took her out and on about day 3 she just "gets it."
PROBLEM 1:
She won't speak to tell us, she will walk to the door and if you don't see that, she comes to you and sits down and looks at you. If you ask "Do you want me to pick you up?" and that is not what she needs she backs away from us. But, if she needs to potty outside she jumps up on our leg when ask. THAT IS GOOD! But, how do we get her to tell us? I mean if we should not be looking or sitting as our desks I don't know what she would do. Don't suggest a bell she would be ringing in constantly.
PROBLEM 2:
Now she is realizing that going outside is also fun. So as you can imagine the "need to go out" is coming too frequently. Sometimes she goes potty, sometimes even on leash she just wants to run and act silly in play.
Obviously, with winter nearing, we don't want to be making false runs outside.
IF SHE DOESN'T GO SHE IS PUT IN HER CRATE. Problem there is she likes her crate too, so to her that does not seem like punishment, even thought I tell her "You didn't go potty."
How do I stop her from telling me she wants out when she really just wants to go play? Since she is so very tiny she eats at will and so you can't time her.
I hope someone has some ideas, we have made about 10 un-necessary trips out already today.
By the way I pretty much stick close to this post someone else posted if you want to know what I am doing. One of us is with her constantly unless she is sleeping.
