patience, persistance and consistancy! put her in the same place at the same time every day ... and have ALOT of patience!!

i 'tub-trained' iZ which was pretty easy since the warm water makes 'em wanna 'go' ... i paid attention to what time of day he'd usually go and
then put him an a shallow tub of warm water about that time everyday ... as soon as he'd 'assume the position' + start to go, i'd praise him and repeat the word 'bathroom' to him ... (yes, he thought i was insane! *grin*) but he did learn what the word meant and what i wanted him to do too ... it helped alot when we moved + he had a whole new tub to get used to and then when he got his own room and litter box, him knowing the word made it ALOT easier to explain what that new thing was for ... good luck!!!
