House Breaking a Puppy in Winter
Last night it was cold….really cold. Temps were in the low teens up here on the hill…that is cold for us. I felt bad that my doggies had to go out there to do their business….but go out they did
…..even the puppy…..for whom I can confidently profess has reached the stage of being officially house broken….potty trained….doin’ the dooty in the great outdoors consistently without fail, and even asks now to go out!! You’ve gotta love Great Danes….they do not like going potty in their house….
…..this little girl is only 3 months old….
….no more wet spots accidentally discovered!!! She has managed success while battling: rain….

Alivia at 8 weeks old
…..wind, freezing rain,
snow, big heavy rain, temps into the teens, snow that has turned to ice…..she figured it out even in the coldest of nights….

She looks so cold out there in the dark.
….battled her desire to run back inside (okay that happened a couple of times)….

Doggie potty area.
….and went out there anyway and got the job done!!

THE ENDS!!!!!
P.S. I wrote about house breaking puppies a little while back on my other site….https://haveadanehilldanes.com/2016/09/02/puppy-basics-go-potty-outside/ It has been an intense several weeks of the get-up-and-run-for-the-door-at-a-moments-notice over and over again time of Alivia’s life….but it is so worth it to have a 3 month old house broken puppy!!
Have a great Sunday!! Thank you for visiting today!
