fotobridget Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Any suggestions on how to teach a BC not to use her feline brother's litter pans? I don't want BC-sized potty in my litter pan! She seems to think that if the cats can do it in a plastic box--so can she................... She has also figured out how to open a sliding door, how to move a baby gate, how to sit, how to come, not to eat mommy's notebooks, etc...but not to potty outside on a regular basis. (I have figured out, tho, that my little darling hates that white wet stuff, and doesn't want to go out if its snowy/icy/cold--not that I blame her). Anybody else have potty training issues? I am very consistent with her and am able to spend many many hours with her each day...just don't understand.....my other bcs were potty trained in a matter of days.....

RaisingRiver Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 How old is your BC? You might want to teach her that the litter box is off limits. A good 'Leave It' should start the process. Also make sure you are doing fun things in the wet/cold so it's not just for potty time. It will help her keep her mind on the 'game' and not her toes. Also make sure YOU don't mind the wet/cold so she doesn't pick up on that. Bundle up and go have fun in it. It's going to happen every year, so she might as well deal with it.

WyoBC Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 When I got mine he didn't like the snow/water much at all. So I started running through it playing and just having fun in it and stuff. Now he loves it, he won't leave it alone. lol. It always helps to have fun first, then they find out "hey, this is kind of fun". Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotobridget Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Thanks. We just moved into a new rental that has a quarter acre doggie pen. I think we might go run through it after we potty, see if she likes it a little better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileyzookie Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I agree that "leave it" or "enough" would be great to teach you dog for this issue. Plus in the future its EXTREMELY useful for various other things. In my case when Riven wont leave the cat alone lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
