First, her name is Dixie Lucille...she's precious!
Second, I am in no way expecting her to be fully potty trained by now, my thing is she poops in her kennel, then gets it all over herself. She goes out at least every hour on the hour. She eats at 7, 12, and 5 every day, then goes out to potty, walk, etc. We did not get her from a *breeder* per se, a neighbor had pups so we got one from her. She was kept outside when she was with her family.
We do the whole praise and treat thing when she goes outside. We play with her, we walk her regularly...I am a bit impatient by nature, guess that's something I need to work on.
Anyway, thanks for all the advice. I'm not ready to give her up yet. Our 9 YOS loves her, which is a HUGE accomplishment for him, as he has always been afraid of dogs, but like me, fell in love with her when we saw her. My DH always wanted a Basset, so held out until he found one. She's a sweetie and I know her accidents are not her fault...I just hate cleaning up the mess and having to wash her off again and again. I'll keep y'all posted on her (and my) progress! |
