Valerie Marie Villars Webboard User Reg: 10-11-2006 Posts: 13 Loc: Offline	I have a four and one half months old GSD female. I also have a seven year old Cairn Terrier, also female. When we take the dogs on walks, the cairn goes to the bathroom. the GSD puppy does not. Is it because she is just young and still excited? I was hoping she would notice the cairn making her business and do the same. Isn't it normal for dogs to make their business while on walks? Is there a way to make her do so? She also takes the leash in her mouth and tries to lead us. We just received a prong collar from Ed today and can't wait to try it out on her, hoping that will solve that problem. But about the "making her business"?...............

But about the "making her business"?............... I would walk long enough for her to end up having to go, then praising like heck. Also, when the other dog pees, if you kind of lead her over there to see and smell the spot, I have found that even with females they often either want to mark over it or just get the idea of "Aha! Pee! I will make some here too!" Then I would praise with "Good potty!" or whatever the potty word you use is, so the connection is made about the word and the deed. That connection can be very useful. Praise and a pat (or a reward) for "Good potty!" can lead easily to performing when you use the potty cue. Good luck! It will work out. Editing to say that if you meant pooping, then a longer walk will help get things moving.
