LOL, I know what you feel, I used to think Luna had selective mental retardation.... But sure you can find something your dogs do ok to start training them on treats... I used cheerrios... small enough not to ruin her appetite, and sweet enough for her to die for... Probably your dog will run after you... Use that... Tell him to come (when you actually see them comming), then give a treat... Then they get the point if they do what you want they get a sweet... then, watch closely, and whenever it is time for them to go, bring them to the right place (I also find as Alaska Yorkie, much easier to bring them outside, so there is no missing.), and once in a while you will be succesful, then, give the treat... So they get the connection. And yes, this little stinkers don?t do anything for free when they are this young (well, probably they will chew something for free LOL) The thing is they get the concept of doing what the screaming lady wants so I can get a treat.

Hope this helps, I am not an expert, but it worked for me...
