Kitty, my cattle dog mix, is a sweetie and knows I'm alpha. However, she will NOT go outside to poop or pee, even though she has a doggie door and fenced back yard. She has 2 places she uses to do her business, whether or not i have puppy piddle pads down. When we're out of town, she'll go when I'm outside with her, but never at home. She's used to holding it for long periods of time, so right after eating won't work. I've read all he housebreaking manuals, but nothing addressed this particular dog's problem.
