I've been following Ian Dunbar's training, though it's not quite as easy as 1-2-3 as his paragraph makes it seem. I bring BellaMia outside every hour and tell her to go potty, followed by lots of praise and a delicious treat. I'm watching her body language also for when she has to go and when I see it, we go right outside. So far so good..........
BUT, she hasn't made the connection to ask to go outside and will eliminate inside if I don't grab her in time. I know mistakes will happen and I don't scold or punish her, but she's 15 weeks old and has been here for a month with the same routine from day 1. Any tips to help her make the connection that asking to go out and take care of business will equal a treat?
