| Potty training I'm having problems with Rocco . He is 2 and I just got him this weekend. He is suppose to be pad trained but he has peed on my couch twice. Should I kennel him and bring him out to potty, then play ,back in the kennel.? |

| He is probably just now getting used to his new environment. Please give him some time to adjust to his new home. You may want to take him to the pee pad every 15 or 30 minutes just so he gets used to it. Belly bands are another idea that you may try. Good luck with Rocco. |

| I agree. Give him some time to settle in. I'd probably restrict him to areas that aren't carpetted and don't have nice furniture (ie kitchen, laundry room, etc) until he is trustworthy. Also, be sure that you lavishly reward him with praise and treats if he goes on the pads. If you catch him doing it wrong, hustle him to the pee pads. If you don't catch an accident until it's already done, say nothing.
