| grrr Maggie is 9 months.... and not housebroken. I've said it many times: I cannot wait to move in my apt in a week so everyone will stop setting her back. Everytime I make progress with her my dad thinks he knows better and changes the routine

| Kacee will be 5 months old September 9th and she was housebroken by 4 months. We bought a doorbell which hangs from the door knob and she jumps up, rings her bell and sometimes barks or makes some sort of "funny" noise. There is always someone home with her, too. We keep pads down in case no one can make it to the door in time. She might use them once or twice a week, if that often. I plan to always leave pads down for her so that they will be available if everyone is gone. Over the weekend, she needed to go potty and I don't know what brought this about but she came running into the bedroom and led me back to the door at a run. That is the way my little Muffin used to tell us she wanted out.

| Twinkie is almost 7 months old now. I got her when she was 5 months old and she was not paper trained yet. After about 2 weeks she was completely trained to use a box lined with wee wee pads. I do have 2 chihuahuas that use the same box so I think she started to copy them - I think I did get lucky with her though! |

| Coco is 6 months and is 99% potty trained since 4 months. Every once in a while (once a month or once every couple of weeks) she will have an accident (usually my fault because I throw her off) but I think she's doing great for her age. Mommy's sooo proud of her

| It think Bailey was 6 months,,, YET to this day,,if he has to go #2 ,,,and I dont react instantly,,, he will handle it on his own! He is 15 months old~! In the night if his feet hit the floor off the bed, and I dont get up right away, he will go in the bathroom and poop .... ( ya know when your are sleeping a min. seems like a second,,, so I hear him get down,,, and by the time I get out of bed,,, he has already handled it and he's back in bed sleeping... like saying " dont get up mom,,, Im done"! This doesnt happen alot,,, but every now and then.

| Housebreaking Jack is 4 months and has a accident about 2 to three times a week. Mandy is almost 8 months has one maybe about every 10 days or so. They have never had a poop accident in the house since I have had them. However Jack has had a few bouts of diarrhea I will not count as mistakes in his crate overnight. We are making progress!!! I have been taking them out on the hour since I got them for over 11 weeks now. Verena |

| Gucci is 1 yr old and she is 99% housetrained, well pee pad trained. She goes on her own to the pee pad and goes but sometimes she pees at the edge of the pad but I dont consider that a mistake. We had two pads, one in the bedroom and one in the bathroom. My hubby forgot to replace the pad and she poop on the floor where her pad was supposed to be. But I consider that our fault not hers. She is doing pretty good. Sometimes she gets lazy thou, and has some accidents but are getting very rare. |
