the hanging tough part was very hard for me in the beginning. When I get
home, I put the dogs out. Cali doesn't go potty and when she comes back in,
I can't stand the thought of crating her. I missed them and I wanted to
play!
Anyway, Cali is at the point where she will go potty outside and she knows
she should (I base this on her barking at the door right at the time she has
to pee) but she won't go if she's tied. If I let her out running free, she
will pee and poop no problems but if I tie her out, she refuses to potty.
The reason I must tie her though, is so she doesn't wander too far away
(which she didn't use to do). Now I am stuck and not sure what to do with
her, tie her & wait out the refusal to go potty (reverting back to crating
again when inside) or figure out another solution.
