Hi! I just adopted a 6 year old Shih Tzu named Honey. She was used to having a doggy door and being able to go outside to potty whenever she wanted. I am not set up that way. I'm trying to figure out how to teach her that she needs to let me know when she has to potty. Or maybe I should control feeding times and then take her out after? Seems I take her out and she doesn't have a clue what to do. lol She's not used to being on a leash so I think that throws her. But then she also won't always go potty. She's had a couple accidents right in front of the door. I'm sure she will do fine eventually. Just looking for some ideas on how to get her used to not having a doggy door. Is it basically the same process? For my other dog, I say "potties" and she runs to the door and will go when I take her out. She was pretty well housetrained when I got her. I just added the command, "potties" to her routine.
Thanks!
Thanks!
