Potty training switch

My 10 month old Maltese has been trained to use the potty outside however she still has a lot of accidents because she is not watched all the time when she is out of her kennel. This is due to other family members not wanting to keep her in the kennel when they arn’t watching her. Any way what I was asking is, is it a good idea to retrain her to potty on paper instead of outside.

Kelly is absolutely correct.

Too bad your family doesn’t understand that they are holding the pup back by their behaviour. I do hope they don’t punish her accidents, as they are the fault of the humans here, not the pup.

Puppies require supervision..would they let a toddler have total freedom in a house? Would they leave the toddler diaper free and expect it to potty train itself? Puppies do not come pretrained..

Maybe you should have them read this thread.

No, she could learn. But whatever you decide to teach her it is important to be consistent.

Basically you are teaching her to target a certain substrate to use for a toilet area. She can learn to use a litter box with pads or natural litter material in the house and will most likely still use the grass when she’s outside.

You may also want to look into PuppyMaid’s auto training device or the Pet Loo for indoors.

They are indoor toilets for dogs. If you search them on google you’ll find them, and many more. Pet-a-potty is another good one.

Same as basic house training but focus on the playpen with appropriate toilet instead of taking her outside. Here’s the page:
