Big sis got a puppy.
She hasn't gone potty outside since Sat.
Esa is a 13 week old Bichon. The breeder had her "grate trained". She went in a corner & it fell through the grate.
Sis texted me tonight, so I called her. Esa was crying non-stop. I told her to cover the kennel on all 4 sides with a little bit left open for air. It worked, she texted me back "blissful silence".
The question on the housetraining....she takes her outside & she doesn't go.
She's gone 8 hours during the day with no way to get her home to let her out. She hasn't been taking her out at night because she won't go anyways, she'll come back in & mess in her crate.
The crate is the right size, I went through the steps with her & have pics to verify it is the right size. She flings poop/pee everywhere outside of the crate....
She's not interested in playing or being with my sis, doesn't know who to walk on a leash, & isn't interested in toys. (I fear she wasn't from the best breeder, not a BYB or mill, but not the best)
How does she go about housetraining Esa?
(I worry, she's never had a puppy before)
