Hi Kat. When Tia potties on the floor, soak some of it up into the training pad and leave that pad out for her. Most dogs will smell the urine on it and go back to it. (My grown chi wouldn't, but she was totally trained to ONLY go potty outside). As far as the food, try putting warm water on it (if it's hard kibble) and let it get soggy so she can chew it more easily. Or buy some smelly canned food. They always go for that smelly stuff... lol. Good luck! ~Lacey
