ok. I admit it i have made a right pig's ear of trying to train ruby. Karlin said the other day that i would have to start again and i certainly will have to. Ruby is nearly 5 months old now and i had her in the utility and downstairs bathroom and then after advise from this site i restricted her to the downstairs bathroom. She did very well in that she then had no wee or poo at all in the morning until she went out. Then i asked question on this site again because she was weeing in the kitchen when i left her into the children for a few minutes and everyone said to start crate training that it was no good to train just in one room and i have ordered the book that karlin said from amazon and i am waiting for it. Yesterday i started with the treats outside when ruby did a wee and we were doing well enough besides her sitting looking at me for ages and ages while i went wee ruby wee ruby...hee hee!! Then when she had done this i left her into kitchen for two minutes and my daughter had her on her lap on the floor and i was watching them. I literally turned my back for two minutes to fix my iron press to get ready for ironing and taylor said mom she wee'd on me and on the mat beside her. So i said no ruby! and put her outside where she just kept looking at me when i was trying to get her to wee outside. Then i was afraid i had frightened her by saying no ruby....... To make a long story shorter!!!! Last night she was just sitting outside looking at me when i was saying wee ruby ,good girl,wee ruby and i had the treats and all in my pocket. Eventually i had to leave her back in!! This morning then her down stairs bathroom was full of wee and poo!!! Which it hasnt been in approx 2 weeks. she even had her blanket on the floor full of wee. I know im going to have to start all over.
I presume she is not too old now to start all over with a crate is she?? and i know i have done it all wrong. i was trying to train the old fashioned way i suppose with the paper.etc.
