| Feeling alittle Guilty I have a Beautiful little girl named Haleigh. She is about 1 1/2 . She is my little sweet heart. But I have been feeling alittle guilty about her potty training...I have tryed since I got her to potty train her. I have tryed everything, crate training, pee-pee pads, even at the end started taking her out every 20 mins,.......Nothing has worked with her, im not sure why, but she will pee pee everywhere, on the floors on her bed, on the couch, it was just getting out of control. So just the past 3 months, I started putting diapers on haleigh. She doesnt seem to mind them, in fact she acts alit happyier, and I know im alot happyier......But I feel guilty, has anyone else been forced to use the diapers????? |

| I have used them from the beginning. No accidents on our floors, yet, after 3 months (fingers crossed). If we aren't watching Tyson closely while he is not in his crate, on goes the diaper. This cuts down on the urge to go INSIDE, especially inconspicuously, and now he knows to go to the door to have the diaper taken off to go pee or poo OUTSIDE. Take it from me, diapers help to correct! |

Yeah, im starting to do that now, taking it off for an hour, and when i walk outside and cant keep my eye on her, I put the diaper...I was just really curious on how many people use them....I get on this forum and read everyones quotes about there dogs being almost fully potty trained and I start to wonder if im doing the right thing. | |

| I have had Lilly since she was 8 months old & she is now 18 months old. She was not potty trained when I got her (although they said she was) and I, like you have struggled with it also. I didn't try ther crate training - I just couldn't bring myself to do it since I am gone from 7:30am-5:30pm Monday thru Friday. I ended up buying a piece of vinyl lattice & kept her in the kitchen which is all tile. If she is in there all day, she will go on them. When I am home, she will go in the kitchen but NOT on the pads, on the tile. When I am not home & she is left out, she will pee anywhere she pleases. I do not want to confine her, but I don't want pee spots all over the floor. I use diapers every single time we go to anyone's house. I visit my Mom quite often, so she is in them a LOT. I have considered putting her in them when I am at work just for piece of mind, but I'm like you & not sure if that is fair or not. Also, I have resorted to Newborn diapers & cut a whole in them for her tail. (the poo comes right out too with no mess) Doggie diapers were very expensive & the XXS size was even too big for her & didn't stay on.

| This sounds a bit odd Have you had her checked at the vet? A dog at that age should have a little more control than that What is surprising is that she's peeing in her bed? If there is something physical that is causing her urgency you're right there's no training that can help But if that's not the case there isn't any reason why she can't
