Oh, I wanted to add that when she tries to go to her area, I grab her really quickly and put her outside. Kind of like what you would do a puppy that looks like they are about to have an accident. And when she goes outside, I praise her like crazy. But she still is just so persistent about trying to go to her area instead of outside.

I think you should just keep doing what you're doing. Always keep her in sight or at least keep her area in sight if that's the only place in the house she goes. Keep her pad outside and when you catch her in the act put her outside like you've been doing. It will take time but I think she'll get the idea. As for getting her to go outside on her own why don't you go out first and coax her out with a treat and lots of praise. That may take time and persistance also but I think she'll get it.

Get some No-Go by Pet Organics, and thoroughly wet the area she used to go in, and a little bit around it as well.
What you are experiencing now is why I tell people never to let them go in the house in the first place.

Thanks guys! She is such a wussy, she won't even go out there if I go out first. She hates to be out of my sight, but sort of like when I go on lanolium, she stands at the edge and whines like crazy to get me to pick her up and bring her there. Spoiled dog....

Kitty, do you think she's going there because of the smell though? Because she has a litterbox that she goes in, and there is a puppy pad in the box. And she never goes around it or outside the box, so I don't think there are any stains around it. It's funny, because I can remember people asking how to litter train dogs, and I would say how, and then people would always say not to because then you can't get them to go outside, and I never gave it much thought because I never planned on her going outside. But it really is nicer to have her go out there, lol.

i,m with kitty on this one. i wish i would have trained my frenchies to go outside from the beginning. it took alot of working with them to get them used to going outside everytime they needed too. they will sometimes still go in the bathroom where the puppy pads used to be, but thats rarely now. harley broke the doggy door so it is rigged shut until i can replace it. i just take them out every couple of hours and they do fine.
