Thank you for using Pet Coach! Potty training a puppy can be a frustrating and challenging task. One trick I found that works well is to use the puppy urine pads and gradually move it closer and closer to the back door to the point where eventually the pad is outside. This will in turn hopefully get Ellie to want to go outside. Praising Ellie when she pees outside is also very important to reinforce the behavior you want. Using treats as a reward is a good way to positively reinforce the behavior. Taking Ellie for long walks and when she pees, praise her and give her treats as a reward. Do this over and over and hopefully this will reinforce this good behavior over time.
