Milly going out

Milly is brill now and does nothing in the house she paws the back door and we let her out, only problem is she is doing it all the time and i no she dosent want to do anything but don't want to not let her out and break all the hard work any suggestions?

Tough one, maybe try taking her out when she doesn't paw the door, so she doesn't have a conection with pawing the door means going out and vice versa. I really have know idea but just a thought!

Will try out Janey we are up ever 10 mins with her. She goin mad with her kong at the min but I no as soon as she has finished she will be at the back door. ~

As I said not a great help but maybe worth a try, I can imagine the frustration!!!!!

Bless her! she loves being outdoors doesn't she! Maybe you could try letting her outdoors every time she paws at the door. This way she will learn that she is not missing out on anything - because they all quickly learn that it is more fun to be with you than on their own out in the garden,

We do let her out everytime when we are sat watching telly I sometimes think she does it for attention oh there she goes again

Tracey is your Garden area secure? If so put a dog door in there.
you can even make a DIY one if you want to.

yeh it secure may look into that how do you know how big to make it

Well I know that you can buy them ready to fit at most hardware stores over in Oz

I guess you could judge a little like the crates.. medium should be ok... they only need to get their head and shoulders thru and the rest will follow lol

Molly started doing this, we used to make her wait a little, if she really wanted to go, she'd carry on pestering us, she's now learnt that if she barks she gets let out and only does so when she needs to go.

Whether making her wait helped, or whether she just got over it herself, I'm not really sure.
