puppy problem!

[kittywoo]

our puppy is now 12 weeks old had all her jabs etc....
on thu she had the all clear to go walking on her lead but she doesnt seem to go to the toilet when shes out she will hold it in till she gets home.... just wondering why this is?

thanks...

Dont worry she'll soon get the idea. For several days after I started walking Max he always held it back until we got home then he would rush to the spot jn the garden that had always been his loo. I've talked to a lot of dog owners who had the same problem but all the dogs soon grew out of it. Its just that shes' been trained to "go" in a certain place & it will take her a while to realise she's not being naughty doing it somewhere else

yes I agree, you have spent time teaching her to go outside, she will take time to realise that she can go in other places, my setter did the same thing and even now prefers to go in his "place"

I agree, my dog (German Shephard) always goes in the same place in the garden. It makes it really easy to clean up after her. I always took her to the same place when she was a pup and she got the idea. Most times when we go out she will wee elsewhere but always does the other in her toilet at home.
