luvin's treats etc .. try not to do too much talking or even give much attention
to her before she pee's or she may see the reward as just being with you
and that's what we're trying not to have her do.. ie.. outside she's happy go
lucky just to be by your side.. the moment she doesn't have your attention
inside, she pees as a "hey I'm here luvsies me"</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

could talk and chatter with her about the weather or the dust never settling but
not until *after* she's relieved herself. If you have a dog park in
your area ... you could walk the perimeter on leash until she's peed and then
she gets off leash time, etc.. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
