Potty Mess
It is indeed difficult to train a dog to pee and poo at a specific place. We have been trying a few methods and so far nothing seems to work. We wanted her to do her business in the toilet but she somehow just refuses and we can't really have it in the toilet if not it will be unusable anymore. We placed a plank over the toilet bowl to avoid her falling into it. Yea my house still has those squatting kind of toilet bowls. And so Plan A didn't work. Moving on to Plan B - making her pee and poo on newspapers.
Currently working on it, hoping that she recognises the smell of newspapers when she pees on it every time. Every 2 hours or so we would bring her out to the garden to pee, but sometimes she doesn't. So, we monitor her almost ALL the time. *tiring* Since she has not mastered this skill, she is not allowed to sleep in my room with me. So, Nikki better be a good girl if she wants better comfort. She doesn't bark AT ALL when she want to go pee, so we have to observe other behaviour of hers.
Mission possible : Train Nikki to pee and poo at the correct place!
