I have a 4 month old pittie, I am kennel training her. In the morning or when I come home from work, I open the kennel door to take her outside. If I reach in to put a leash on her she'll pee a bit in the kennel on the kennel pad. If I let her come out on her own and try to pick her up she usually will do the same on the carpet. If I let her come out on her own and don't reach for her she'll usually start to pee right there. I have done the negative reinforcement by using a strong deep loud voice and tell her NO, potty outside, then pick her up and take her out. She won't follow the other dogs and go out on her own so I have to pick her up or put a leash on her ... then I'm literally dragging her to the door.
How do I get her to hold it till we get outside or how do I get her to allow me to put a leash on her or allow me to pick her up without piddling in on the kennel pad? I do now acknowledge her in the morning or when I come home in the hopes she will not get over-excited but nothing has worked. I've started putting a puppy pad in front of the kennel so that she doesn't pee all over the carpet but I do not leave one down ... it's just there from the time I put her in the kennel in the morning til the time we go outside and then I trash it. Other than that, she is doing well during the day with going outside but mostly because I watch her like a hawk.
Any suggestions would be great!
