Kira, our 15 month old Rescue is going to the bathroom in the house. Not all the time. Granted, some of the time this is OUR fault, because we don't always pay attention when she gives us a clear signal that she must go out! Bad Owners... bad bad bad.
But then there are times, like this morning, when I was sitting on the couch reading some mail. Cora was outside, and Kira was contentedly chewing on a rubber bone.... they had just eaten breakfast.
Cora always asks to go out... Kira doesn't. I feel that this morning's "mishap" was partially my responsibility... I should have just taken her out.... but was very sleepy, and wanted to go back to bed asap!
Russell feels that she should have asked to go out. And he, like me, is concerned that this is becoming a habit.
What do we do. He feels that positive reinforcement isn't working. I'm not so sure... afterall, we're not holding up our end. I realize that consistancy is the key....
Any suggestions would be very welcome!!!!
Thanks!
