Does anyone have any tips on how to help with housetraining while I am out of the house?
We don't have many accident while I am in... I am not sure if Bodhi is actually learning though, or whether I am letting her out too often (if that is possible!!). I do all the praising when she goes outside, although we are letting her have a free run of the back now, so cannot get to her asap to
praise every elimination.
She is fantastic overnight. We crate her in a crate large enough for her bed, and some paper at the other end. She will have maybe one #1 during the night, and goes straight out in the morning for #2!! So, I know she can hold it for a certain length of time.
My main concern is while I am at work... I wish I didn't work, but, I do I leave paper down in one corner while I am out (we have a large kitchen where she stays), and she will usually #1 on the paper, but tends to #2 around the paper. I don't mind accidents (she is a puppy!!) but, are there any methods to help her housetraining while I am gone? I realise it will take longer, but any help will be appreciated
Sorry for the waffle!
