I've probably mumped up some of that. I've often forgotten to take treats out with me so I'm not able to give her anything until we come back in. That, combined w/how in the first few days I'd have to take her bed away to get her to be not comatose and to try to use its return to reward eating, makes her sprint back to my place to try to beat me back to her bed. Dumb, as she's leashed to me, but whatever.
Today, when we came back from shitting, I didn't take her off leash right away inside and we sat in the kitchen until she ate. Once she starts eating, she kills the whole bowl quick. I immediately rewarded her w/treat food.
I don't know why I reward shitting. Just seemed like a good idea. She knows to go outside for sure. I guess I'm just trying to positively reinforce the whole process of her cooperating in going outside or letting me know she needs to and getting the job done out there. I'll try doing the playtime out there, which goes back to being able to get her off the leash. We're gonna go put in some extra time at the dog park tonight.
