Good morning all,
In November last year we got a 5 week old puppy. (we live in Malaga in Spain and the owner had a litter of 6, and herself heavily pregnant, hence the reason why she wanted to give away so quickly)
We (family of 4, me, my wife and 2 daughters of 12 and 9) went straight to the vets, and started the vaccination program. At the end of January we could take her out for the first time when she had had all the necessary vaccinations. Until then we had tried to train her inside to go potty in specific places (with varying levels of success and failure
)
Since the end of Jan we take her out first thing in the morning, mid morning, afternoon and evening, but she is still doing most of her "business" in the house. To the point that we go out, she will keep it all in and then when we get inside again, it comes out. Or when she realises we are going out, then she pees first, still in the house and then outside nothing.
How can we change this behaviour? Any tips, tricks are gratefully received.
Our puppy is now 17 weeks old, a cross between a Belgian Shepherd (father) and a short haired collie (mother)
Regards
Bard
