After a weekend of what we considered progress we begin our week with all hope lost again. One accident all weekend. We even saw signs of her trying to communicate she had to go. Then comes Monday with not only a 5am wake up (usually WE get her up at 6) but a plethora of accidents every 10 minutes.
What comes in must come out right? We feed her on the same schedule and water is available in monitored quantities but she is all over the place with her timing. You'd think she didn't know better or something :p
Today I am tired and am in need of the reminder that she is only been with us a week. We have had a mix of good outdoors time and inside accidents. This process is particularly hard for us living in a high rise so there is no such thing as shooing her out the door as quickly as possible. When she is caught in the act we quickly transport her to the pee pad, but she usually is done.
It is just not clicking. We don't want to spend our evenings yelling at her or rubbing her nose in her mistakes but that is what this is turning into. I can't yell at a sweet face anymore. So we took a break, did a bit more research for helpful tips. Much like trying to diagnose yourself via google, there is a bunch of conflicting advice one article will say "don't yell if you catch her in the act" the other says "make a loud noise to stop her"....We will just have to find what works and as soon as we do, we'll let you know. We are starting fresh and working harder.
hows that for consistency...
hey you know what is consistent? her naps!
