We got a 1-year-old Chihuahua about a month ago. She was 90% pad trained when we got her. I was out of town for 3 days and my husband was not consistent with leaving the pads out. He assumed she would just use the doggy door to go outside like our other dog does. Now she keeps going in the house! She has not used the pad once. I have tried to baby gate her in the kitchen with the pads and even sat in there with her for over an hour and no luck! As soon as she gets out of being corralled or out of her crate or climbs out the baby gate she will very quickly run away from me and go to the bathroom on the carpet. How can I get her to start using the pads again? I have never pad trained a dog, as this is the first small breed dog I have owned. I would really like for her to be able to use pads as they are a much easier clean up. Any help is appreciated.
