Today was the first day I could take Koda out (2 wks after 2nd injections), so we went on our first walk this morning. I have already lead trained her in the house and on the garden so aside from a few pulls and a couple of runs to get to some people/dogs it went well (her little tail never stopped wagging bless!:love:).

I was just wanting to know the best way to housetrain. She has got really good at using the pads (maybe a bit too good) so I don't want to take her out to have her come and wee on a pad!

I started training her to "wee wee" so she knows what I require on the pads, so I'm hoping this will work outside especially right after taking a nap-but any other suggestions most welcome!!

I just had to laugh though, I went to the kitchen where the puppy pads are, to make a cuppa and she weed in front of me on the pad. I quickly priased her and gave her a treat right after.
2 minutes later she did another little wee then sat wagging her tail for a treat-is it just me or is she starting to manipulize me by doing bits at a time for more treats??:huh:

not sure with this one as i bipassed all paper/pad training and just let pip out every hour or when she sniffed around-i read it was easier this way. I put her in a pen when we out and made sure it was on a wipeable surface. She was fully house trained at 18 weeks day and night (crated at night), with only the odd accident if not payin attention when younger than.

yes im same i never paper trained mine as i dont see point in trining them to wee inside even if it is on pad but hey we all have our own opions my lab was traind at 8 weeks trained within the week, neva had an accident i just listend to my dog basically but even if she seamed liek she didnt need toilet i still took her out like every half hour

She just had her first al fresco wee when my boyfriend took her out tonight so it's looking good-just need to keep at it!
