My new pup, Pepper! Any advice on how to make her comfortable enough to go potty outside instead of inside? She’s a nervous wreck! 😭😭

TREATS! They will be your best friend, and positive reinforcement when she does little brave things, that helped mine cause he loved the attention

treats and take her outside and walk around a bit about every 20-30 minutes!! let her sniff and snort as much as she wants— it’s all about patience and positive reinforcement

If you are using potty pads, gradually move them closer to the door you will be using to take her outside. And use lots of positive reinforcement when she does the correct behavior :)

What we have done is walk our dogs outside in the backyard on a leash every couple of hours, and just walk and walk until they pee and then congratulate them and give them a treat. The key is not to go inside until they pee, this is definitely exhausting though😭
