Eldorado does litter box train and they were always very successful at it when I visited..I know they line the outside of the box with newspaper too..so I would make sure to do that also so she's as familiar with the process as she can be. I would suggest if you can't get her to start using it for pooping soon to just get her a coat and start outside. The longer she goes without pooping where you want her to the harder it'll be when you need to change it. Bad habits develop fast. I wish I started Oakley outside right away versus litter training. He always would pee in it but he wouldn't poop in it. He got very used to pooping next to the box on the kitchen floor and to this day prefers going on hard surfaces. I know it's hard to imagine potty training outside in this weather but you might be better off in the long run.
I'm not against the litter box, I also have an eldorado pup; I just know the entire process would've been easier and more beneficial to is both if I braved the weather and did it in the first plAce
Hi - New Here

Hello, I'm pomegranatetears, Lina Marie's human ;).
I adopted a basenji/something mix (the vet can't tell what the other part of her is LOL) and am completely and utterly gaga over the breed. I've never been so enamored with a specific breed of dog (I just like dogs in general) my entire life. In fact, I don't remember ever being so in love with a dog before.
Lina has wrapped our entire family around her small white paw. Anyhow, after I adopted her I read up as much as I could as to how to keep a dog happy and found that they are happiest when someone else is the pack leader. I tend to be an old softie, but am doing my best to be assertive and maintain control over my dog…and she seems very happy about it.
