She has been doing well with peeing and pooping outside but lately it has been raining here and she refuses to pee and poop outside when the ground is wet. What do I do?

Way back in post #7 I mentioned walking the dog until it couldn't hold it any longer. If it doesn't like going out in the rain, take an umbrella and walk until it goes. Then praise it and let it go in out of the rain. Perhaps try to find places where the grass isn't too high.

It does help to pick up the old thread with an ongoing problem.

My routine is to take her out when I first get up and leave her in the pen for awhile while I get ready for work. Then I put her back inside in the laundry room then when I come home I take her back outside and leave her in the pen for an hour or so and then bring her back in. she did really well with it and went in her pen outside when she had to go poop or pee. But the last 2 weeks it's rained on and off days and so the ground in her pen is wet and I can't get her to go to the pen when I let her outside and she doesn't want to poop in her pen outside she keeps pooping inside. What should I do?

Kylie try covering the top of the pen, this is what I did when I was potty training my mother-in-laws chihuahua dog. I covered a large section of the pen, when it was raining she went for the covered part. Did her business and was back in the house. She also wore a shirt/coat to ward off the chill.

It is nice once the puppy can just be put out. However, until you get there, you are still going to have to stay out with her, make her move, and praiser when she can't hold it any longer.
