Littlefoot is going to be 6 months old this month. We got her when she was around 17 weeks old. Let me tell you I have never seen a dog so scared of everything, and I think that has a lot to do with her not wanting to always go outside. We have came a long way on being afraid of every little thing. Just to let you know how bad it was when we would take her out (and we have been working on this since we got her) she was afraid of cars, trucks, the dark, rain, snow, the grass, the sidewalk, you name it she was afraid of it.
I can now get her outside and she loves to go in our fenced yard. I walk her around the yard inside and out. So she will now pee and poo when I have her off the leash and she is out playing with the kids. She will also pee and poo most of the time on the leash, just takes a little longer sometimes.
My problem is when we are in the house she will not tell me she needs to go out. I take her out ev ery few hours knowing she should have to go, but if I am in the middle of cooking or cleaning she will not tell me. She will go then bark to let me know she did it and wants it cleaned up.
Is there a way to teach her to go to the door or bark or anything to let us know she wants out.
I do know when she is sniffing and going around in circles she is ready to go like lastnight when I was on my computer I looked and she was in mid poo and I yelled stop and I took her out to finish. But of cours ethere was no bark or scratch or anything from her to say mom I need out.
