Houston, we have a problem..

Went home at lunch. I could hear her crying from my front door.. not MY door..but the building door. (I have a main door before my door....thats over a flight of stairs away). Shit. I am SOO worried that she did that the entire time I was gone. I dont want my neighbors to freak out. I mean.. its okay during the day, but if I go to the gym.. or really anywhere.... It COULD be b/c its her first day (this is where you all say that this will get better..). I even left the tv on for her.. *sigh* Nervous that I'll never be able to leave... PLEASE tell me she'll get used to this.. PLEASE.

Oh. and it's raining. She didnt like that. She sat outside, shivering, and looked at me like "You expect me to pee in THIS? Um. No." So, after about 20 minutes, I brought her back inside.

*le sigh* It's okay.. I expected it to be hard.. but I didnt sign my neighbors up for all-nighters... Hopefully she'll calm down..

My dog cried in her kennel for like the first year. :( I don't know that she did it continuously while I was gone, but she would do it for a while after I put her in there. Now she loves it and it's her safe place.

She didn't go to classes. Like Kat said, you just have to make sure that you reward them for doing things you want them too. Treats every time after going to the bathroom outside, and punishment when it happens inside, etc. If she won't pee outside when you take her out I heard you are supposed to take them inside, keep them on a leash, wait for about 5 min., then take them out again and hopefully they go. Sometimes there isn't time for this of course!
