Thanks for the replies guys. I just read online that putting the potty in the crate is a good option but obviously not. When I outdoor train her how do I also train her to go on her indoor toilet if needed? Eg. Home alone, cold/rainy weather etc.
I home school so would only leave the house for 3 hours at most, but I still want her to be independent in case an emergency ever occurs. Also, since I have red dirt and white carpets, she won't be going outside in the rain! I have three indoor cats so this dog business is a whole new ball game.
