Teaching a dog to use a litter box?

[minkyboodle]

I wanted to know if you could teach a 4 year old min pin to use the litter box after she has already been taught to go outside....
If so...anyone know where i could find some information to do that?

Also...this dog does have seperation anxiety issues can anyone direct me to some information to help rid her of this problem?


thanks bunches!

I'd be curious too about training to use a litter box inside, after they've been trained to go potty outside.

Anybody know what to do???

Yes you can.

Anyway..... It is possible.. Just like they say 'You can't teach an older dog new tricks', well that's wrong.. I guess, just do what you would do if you were teaching her to go outside.. Whenever she needs to go, teach her to go the litterbox, instead of the door, to go outside.. Reward her with plenty of treats, ect..

I don't know much about dogs and I'm not sure about this, but ... if you make a big enough = HUGE box with dirt or sand in it, she may just have a go. and treats after will surely help!

Good luck!!
