[QUOTE="Suz, post: 59106, member: 29"] I did pretty much the same thing that Vickie just described when Chloe first moved in. I took her outside on a leash and repeated, "time to pee pee" (or poop) and stayed out there until she did. I have one of those retractable leashes so Chloe could venture off a little but I could make a noise or retract the leash a bit if she got distracted before she did her job. We went out every hour on the hour that I was home for the first 3 weeks probably. If I was home and was too busy to keep track of Chloe's activities, she went in her crate, otherwise she was out of the crate but I was always watching her to see what signals she gives off before she has to go out. It also helps to have the old girls out there to "teach" and my old girls always love to go outside. So have Bubba go out there and show Mandy what's up. Just like kids, I've found that dogs like to emulate and gain approval from their doggy elders. When I get home from work she's so excited to see me that she only tinkles about a teaspoon at a time. I've learned that I have to let her/them out, then basically hide until she's pees, then goes to the door to look for me, then runs off and pees some more, then comes back to the door, etc. It's pretty funny. Chloe still has accidents every once in awhile but she's come a long way. Patience is the name of the game, that's for sure. Suz [/QUOTE]
