conv: My girlfriends dog isnt getting potty training.  One week she will be great.  The next week the only place she doesnt go to the bathroom is outside. I watch my girlfriends dog every once in a while and she just isnt getting potty training.  She is a little over 5 months old and some weeks she does a great job and the next week she'll go to the bathroom everywhere but outside. That's super frustrating! I've only ever had outside pets so I can't really offer advice_comma_ but it's one of those things where your anger is all misplaced because you know you can't really be upset with the dog since it doesn't know any better. I do understand that part too.  I actually got a puppy a couple months before her so I went through this all.  I just wish her puppy listened as well as mine because he took a couple months as has been doing great since.  I know it'll click eventually...I just wish shed hurry up :) It'll be well worth it when she gets the hang of it_comma_ but urgh. Bathroom problems are why I don't think I want a kid anytime soon!
