I am having a hard time getting my 8 mo. old cocker spainel mix to potty outside when I take her out (she won't go at all). She has wonderful bladder control, we go all night with out a accident. She has to go as soon as we wake up but she won't go when I bring her out. I keep her on the leash and bring her in the backyard, have treats and a lot of love ready but she wont go. When we come back in she will go right in front of me; I give a stern NO and carry her outside. Same thing any other time she has to go (won't go when on leash outside).
We are not using a crate. Between my wife and myself we watch her 24/7. She has gone potty outside just not with us there to praise her. Trying to use my older dog to help; she gets lots of praise and a treat when she goes outside. Thinking the puppy will want to copy her.
I know she will learn but looking for help to speed up the process.
Thank you
