Hiya Alexander,
and congratulations on the arrival of Rainbow
she is a babe
Re the toilet training. Personally i didn't use any newspaper during the day at all if i was there. Maybe Rainbow has been paper trained by the breeder which now means you have to train her from the paper to outside. With Butty i took her outside about every 30 minutes (if she was awake
) and after every meal or play session. I didn't leave any paper down as i knew teaching her to do it on the paper would then result in me then having to teach her to go outside
It really only took about a week or so and before long she was going outside during the day. Obviously there were accidents which i never commented on, and i blamed myself for not being vigilant enough
Plenty of praise when she does go outside and soon she will get the message that she's doing the right thing. Be prepared for the standing around tho, while they have a ball running riot while your standing in the rain
i used to keep my umbrella and a towel at the back door and prepare myself for a long wait
At night i still used to keep paper down...not to train her to go on it..more as it was easier to clean any mess up..especially those number 2's that they always seem to stand in
Good Luck
Gilly
