This is my first post. I need some ideas.
My husband and I adopted Penny 4 weeks ago. She is a doll. We think she is 4 years old. She is potty trained in that she likes to go potty outside. However, she does still pee in the house sometimes, but she will never pee in front of us.
She has peed in the guest room everywhere and she also peed in front of a new reed diffuser I bought a few times until I moved it. But she will not pee in front of me. If she has to pee really bad she will shake and whine. I will put her on her pee pad but she wont go she will just shake. Well I don't want to torture her so I just take her outside.
Every time she pees outside for the last two weeks I say "go pee pee!" and sometimes I give her a treat.
Now we have a fake grass pee pad inside. I sprayed it with potty training spray and I have tried to tell her to "go pee pee." But she looks at me like Im crazy.
I have also tried taking the fake grass outside and when she starts to pee I put her on it and she looks at me like Im crazy.
I also tried putting her pee on the fake grass.
Any other tips to help me pee pad train my adult dog?
Additional Details: We take her outside to pee at 9am, 3:30pm, and 9:30pm. I also take her out to go pee before I run any errands. For example, If I leave the house at noon I will take her out at noon, then again at 3:30pm when I get back. She likes to pee in the house while I am gone. And she will always pee a lot at the dog park.
I want to teach her to pee inside or at least on our patio and we can get her a doggy door (she wont go on our concrete patio either), so that when I get a job she wont be peeing all over the house and so that I can trust her when I just need to run an errand.
I have never yelled at her or punished her for peeing in the house bc I believe in positive reinforcement (Psychology major here) and bc I have never actually seen her pee in the house.
Sorry this post is so long but Im not sure what details are important.
