Need help with Potty training 2 pups.
Lucy is a 9 month old Pit mix. We had adopted her almost 4 weeks ago and have been struggling with potty training. We’ve read so much information online but it just doesn’t seem to improving. We had gotten her a dog doorbell that she LOVES to use but only if we are right next to the door or in the same room. It’s like she doesn’t connect the dots and we are not sure how to get her to use the bell to let us know she needs to go out. It’s like she doesn’t fully grasp that she needs to go outside. We’ve done a lot of things we’ve seen online with giving her dehydrated beef bites when she goes potty outside, praising her, and etc. We do not punish her in any way for going inside, we just clean it up with enzyme cleaner and take her outside.
We also adopted Charlie who is 11 weeks old. We got him about a week ago. Potty training is kinda rough because we let him out every half hour 24/7. The dogs are not alone whatsoever. Someone is always watching them.
The dogs have free roam mainly in the living room to the kitchen to go outside and go potty.
I’ve seen people do like crate potty training so I was interested in maybe trying that. Charlie isn’t really used to the crate and will scream his head off. Lucy does just fine in the crate.
Does anyone have any tips on how to go about this difficult situation? Do note that we don’t expect them to be potty trained over night, we just want to make sure we’re doing it properly. Its been quite exhausting as expected..
