Hound Dog (times 3!)

Well, August will bring not only my 31st birthday, but it will bring a week of wiener dogs invading my house! The 2 wiener dogs that I met at Tammy's house back in March/April need a place to stay for a week in August while their owners are in St. Martin......soooo.....I'll be doggy-sitting for Tyson and Stretchy, along with Tammy's sheltie named Katie. I will have 4 crazy pups in my house and Maggie will be in absolute wiener heaven!!

One problem I've been having, though, is with Maggie and the doggy door....She's great with the door and goes in/out as she needs to when I'm home - day or night, rain, wind, whatever. She just takes care of business and I don't have to let her out at all. However, when I leave, she thinks she can't go outside through the doggy door without my permission. So.....if she has to go potty while I'm not home, she tends to have accidents and that just defeats the purpose of the doggy door. But how do I train her to go potty outside when I'm not home if I'm not home to train her to do that?! Any ideas?? Janis?? Maybe it'll be a super good thing to have these other dogs here to show her the ropes....All 3 of them have doggy doors of their own, so they are very well-versed in the concept....
