We had the same problem with Casie, and he's 18 mos. old. He is a little guy, not much insulation on him. Often he would get up and go----- right then. I found him the warmest coat I could find, put it on him and then stood inside the door to watch that he did something. The second, he did something I pulled him in, and gave him a treat...then sent him out again, to finish his business. He was so busy watching Cobi that he didn't take time to do his own deeds. He still will have accidents...and I can't leave him out when the windchill is -40 degrees. But I keep thinking, he knows where the door is, he knows what he has to do to get a treat (oh, and this was a special pee/poo treat, not given any other time) he'll do it and get it over. It's been a slow process, but slowly he's catching on. Summer is coming and then we have 4 months to get them trained and ready for next winter. Maybe she is so small, her bladder isn't ready for long periods of not being able to get out? Who knows?
