Shepherd not yet trained
I am very irritated that our 8 month shepherd is not yet trained. We have kept her crated when she doesn't eliminate outside after eating or when I know she "should" have to go potty and won't after a long time outside. We try to watch her when she isn't in her crate but is free in the house. She has found that 10 seconds that she isn't being watched and eliminated inside enough times that I know she thinks she is supposed to go inside. How can I now change that? In the 3 months we have had her, she has only had 3 or 4 days without an inside accident. Luckily, most days it has only been one time, but that is still WAY off. Everyone we talk to says "Potty training should take a week". Any quick suggestions? I don't want her to become a guinea pig in a cage 24/7 to keep her from eliminating indoors, but that is all I can think of to try now.
