TEspecially little dogs tend to get a bit out of sorts with the cold rainy weather. I would suggest you take her out to potty on a leash, use an umbrella or find a sheltered corner of the yard to go to. You will need to be consistent, because as the weather worsens, she may break house training and you don't want that. Be sure and reward her for doing her jobs outdoors, but you must reward her on the spot, not after you come back in the house. Giving a treat in the house rewards her for coming back in, and it could be that she will hurry to come back in, and not do all her jobs outside.

piscesgal	Posted Jul 22nd, 2009 at 2:18PM I hate peeing outside in the rain too. But I will admit, when it's really storming for hours, it's a bit frustrating to worry if both dogs are going to resort to going in the house when they refuse to go outside. Rated: +1Vote for this!
