    I'm so proud!!!

    Me and my baby have been in our new house a couple of weeks now. The first time I took her to the house she peed in the floor. MY FAULT. She did not know where to go and she had just woke up. I should have known better. The first night we moved in she peed on the floor. NOBODY'S FAULT. She was running around the cauch and all of a sudden she came to me crying. I looked behind the couch and she had peed. I wiped it up with a paper towel and said "no use it" and carried her to her pad and laid the paper towel down and said "here use it". I left her in that room and went to sit on the couch and leave her alone to give her time to check it out. In less than two minutes she came in there and started licking my hands and face and was so excited. I looked and she had pooped on the pad. All she needed was to figure out what I wanted. Since then she has had NO ACCIDENTS AT ALL. I am so proud of her. I thought it would be harder than this. [:D]
     
    I had a doggie door put in yesterday so she can get to her pad without me leaving the door open. Ofcource she is scared of it (she is scared of everything). I would love any advice on getting her to use this door.

    Yay!  :)  What a good girl!
     
    I have a puppy door, and I have trained my dogs to use it by holding it open (from the outside) and calling them out, through the door.  When she comes out PRAISE HER LIKE MAD.  Then go back in (don't let her in through the door, hold the puppy door open and repeat.  Then hold it less and less open until she's figured it out.  My little one hauls tail through mine without so much as a pause (particularly when there are birds, GASP, in the yard.)  She'll get it in no time! 
     
    Goodluck!

    I have no words of advice except what Lani mentioned.  Just give your baby girl some skritches from me.  I'm so proud of her.  Goooood girrrl!!
