I'm sure I'm doing it all wrong, because I'm not being super-strict or following some logical training program or something. When we have time, and when Squeaky is motivated, and when I'm motivated, I encourage her to sit on the potty shortly after food/drink. The first time, she sat on the chair for five seconds, got up, turned around and looked, sat again, got up, turned around, looked more carefully, and in doing so, squatted and pooped on the floor right in front of the potty.
But about a week or so ago, she actually did get pee in the potty. So there's something.
I'm torn between keeping the potty in the "library" -- where the TV and toys are -- or keeping it in the bathroom. How long should I have her sit there waiting to see if she's going to go? I figure I'm more patient with the dog because, well, she's on the lawn anyway, but with Squeaky, she just doesn't want to sit more than 10 seconds without hearing something hit the potty.
