Happy Saturday Everyone!
I need advice please! Willow is our 7 week old rescue puppy. Willow is still having trouble trusting people. So even if she walks close to us-when we reach for her she runs and hides. Most of the time when she comes out it's to poo or pee on the floors. We picked her up this past Tuesday & from the beginning we introduced her to the puppy pad.
She's gone on it a few times and I know she's trying. Then there are times she just goes every where. I'm not sure how to go about getting her onto the puppy pad more. I have been using treats to follow me. Some times it works. My biggest thing is How do I correct a precious baby who's been abused and is still scared of people?
Should I go ahead and be firm when she doesn't go on the pad? I don't want to mess up and make things worse for her. She's going to be using the puppy pad for the next 9 weeks-as I won't let her out in the yard till she's had all her shots and all her Parvos. So I need advice from experienced Mommies and Dad's.
