[Audrey]

to Lizzy! :-XI don't know why but i just started calling her that and she came!

So what do you think?

[Tricia]

I think Lizzy is a very cute name too And if that's the name she likes, I'd go with it!

[Lin]

Oh yeah, I love Lizzie! Very cute.

[Jen]

I like Lizzy

[Audrey]

Thanks Ladies!
And That's what i always say;If your puppy or dog comes right away to a name,then that should be his or her's name!

[Jen]

So how is Lizzy doing? Is she all settled in?

[Audrey]

She is all settled in!

Except with the potty training.
She still pee's and poop's in the house. and not on her puppy pee pee pad.

[Audrey]

Do you have any suggestions?

When I got Woody he was 6 months old and had never seen a wee wee pad so it was hard ar first to get him to use them. At the time I was using an inexpensive pad from Target. I decided to try the more expensive Nature's Miracle pad to see if it made a difference. It did. He started using them right away and was hitting them 100% of the time in about a week. It might be that the more expensive pads use a better quality of whatever they treat the pad with to attract dogs to go to the bathroom on it.

That being said. It has been my experience with the two female dogs that I've had that they were more difficult to potty train than my male dogs. At the time I wasn't using pads but training them to go outside. During the process they were both prone to having accidents in the house.

Good luck with the training

I should add it probably also helped that Woody could smell Teddy's stuff already on the pad.

If you are using a good pad already, or even a not so expensive pad, make sure to soak up any accidents she does on the floor with the pad and then bring her to the pad. You really need to watch puppies around the clock when housebreaking them and when you see they are starting to go if they're not already on the pad you need to bring them to it.

Also when potty training it's good to keep them in a small area like gated in the bathroom or kitchen where the floors are easily cleaned. Both Teddy and Woody spent time gated while I was pad training them.
