Why doesn't my puppy sniff her pee after peeing during pad training?

Question

Hello. I have been having problems training my puppy to pee on the pad since she can't go out on walks yet till next week after vaccination. I started to notice she doesn't stop to smell her pee after peeing like my other dog does. She just walks away.. is this normal?

2 months is extremely young, and Harley likely doesn't know what you expect from her. As for not sniffing, that is pretty normal for this age. Training to go on a puppy potty pad uses the same techniques as regular potty training, so it is best to work on a regular potty schedule like you would if you were taking her outside. Crate training can also help, however a 2 month old puppy likely can't hold it more than 1-2 hours at most. Check out some of the articles below on potty training as they may help you get her going on the pad a bit easier: https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-crate-train-your-dog/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/top-5-tips-to-potty-train-your-dog-young-and-old/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-common-housetraining-mistakes/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/housetraining-tips-and-tricks/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/6-common-reasons-for-potty-accidents-in-dogs/
