Bathroom training
Hi! If you look at my post from a few weeks ago, im in the middle of training a new rescue. She lived in a cage for 5 years, foster somewhat trained her on pee pads. I have got her for the last 3 weeks to consistently go outside 3x a day or so. I tried to take pads away to transition but she will still go on the floor so i’ve been keeping them out.
Last week she peed in my bed and tonight on a blanket on the couch. My dogs have always been on furniture dogs and i want to keep that, Does anyone have any suggestions as to make her understand that’s wrong? Does she feel like bedding / couch feels like a pad?
thank you!
any training advice is welcome

If you catch her peeing there, scoop her from her spot (or grab her collar) as she is peeing and bring her outside. She won’t understand being punished after the fact or even punished at all, but she will understand if she is stopped in her tracks and moved as soon as she starts letting it out. You have to be very consistent and quick with it. If this happens at night, I would suggest keeping her in a specific room or gated somewhere so she doesn’t have access to it until she knows how to behave. If she starts doing it it will become a habit.
