The Ugly Fugly

could you PM it to me using the forums message system

thanks for the encouragement spitzbaby, i wish i could use my balcony its a bit hard to fence off my balcony and dont really trust my pup on the balcony, she seems too brave haha but in terms of toileting atm she is progressing well with the pads

thanks for the info sas and sandra i decided to set up a puppy pen with pads, which has led to improvement. She now pees on the pads probably 80% of the time but poo still random, but i guess ill persevere and see how that part goes

Hi all, We recently had a new addition to the family the past week, a 9 week old puppy cross bred (1/2 Toy Poodle, 1/4 Australian Terrier, 1/4 Foxy). I'm some what having troubles with toilet training her although I am aware that she's young and its only been a week. I live in an apartment so we've dedicated the bathroom for her to do her toileting on pads for the time being. Currently what I'm doing is after feeding, after playing and after her naps and when shes sniffing excessively, taking her to the bathroom where ill close the door in order to try and keep her in the bathroom area. The trouble I'm having is once inside she doesn't seem to want to do her business, so I let her out, in which she'll continue sniffing again where ill take her back into the toilet and wait around 10min before letting her out again and repeating. However despite this she always seems to lose interest in the toilet and always sneaks a pee or poo outside the bathroom when I let her back out. Would it be better to keep her in the toilet no matter the duration until she does her business? Or what other suggestions would there be to get her in the habit of using the bathroom. Any input would be appreciated, thanks in advanced
