It just doesn’t seem to be working–she won’t go in the box and now won’t even go outside. She holds it until she is unsupervised and then goes wherever she pleases…I tried leaving her in the bathroom covered in puppy pads along with the box, but she will find the ONLY uncovered area and go there.
I’ve read all the theories about litter training and I’m confused….which method is best?

1) Put her in a small crate with just enough room for her and the litter box and leave her in there all day instead of in her normal crate thus FORCING her to use the box.

2) Keep her in her sleeping crate and physically take her to the box when she might have to go? The whole "just take her to the box 20 minutes after she eats" thing doesn’t work… she has good will power–i might be sitting there holding her in the box for hours.

3) Tie her to me on a leash and put her in the box when she starts to go on the floor?
What should my next step be? Help!
