She is an 8 mo. old lab mix and she was paper trained by the foster family. We are having a hard time getting her to realize that she isn't to go on the floor. We have verbally given her our displeasure when she wets and moves her bowels on the floor. She seems to know she did wrong, but we can't seem to break her. When she does well, we reward her with treats and praise. We cannot afford formal training, so we are not sure where we are going wrong. We had a dog before and she seemed to get trained pretty quick. Our schedule has been scattered(which I see as a problem)but now everyone is back on track. She will be crate trained during the day, so I have to assume that will regulate her trips outside? She also gets very distracted by everything outside and forgets why she is outside. We live in an apartment house, so isolation is a problem. She is still also very hyper. Am I asking too much of an 8 mo. old dog?? HELP! Serious answers only please. Thank you
