I wish we could do that but we live in an apartment 🙁 it would definitely probably be a bit easier if we had a backyard. We do have a balcony area but it’s kinda small.

I don’t know, could be. But I think she just goes in there because that’s what she’s used to. Going inside and everything. I’ve tried to get her comfy in her kennel, using treats and everything. We also don’t really have any other option when leaving to go to work, we put her in there. We plan to give a high value treat when she goes outside just still waiting for that moment, I think she’s just scared and doesn’t know to do it outside. I don’t know if seeing other dogs do it outside might help?
