I don't believe Lacey thinks much of New Year's Day. Since the focus was on taking down the tree and putting away the Christmas decorations, Lacey needed to be secured away from all the activity. Not her favorite thing. But there were enough breaks during the day that she did get some attention.
Lacey's progress on crate training has not been as good as I would wish. I placed a box inside the crate to block off the area where she has been having accidents. I hope this will expedite her understanding of the need to hold it until we can take her outside.
With our prior dogs we used a phrase "busy busy" to signal their need to potty while we were outside. I cannot now recall how long it took them to identify this phrase with outdoor pottying, but I do know that Lacey doesn't have the concept yet.
