Izzy will be turning 8 mos old on 8/29 and we are at 50/50..sigh....she still does not give us any type of sign that she has to go out so when one of us is home - she is out every 2 hours or so. She holds it all night though from about 9pm to 6am which is 9 hours(she has done that since we brought her home at 5 mos. so go figure that one out). While we are at work she will go on her pee-pads but only when confined. We've tried everything too from our clicker training with only special treats given for potty successes to getting those Poochie Bells to hang on the patio door to go out....but Izzy is a WIP (work in progress) and we have the patience to work with her. She'll get there sooner or later. hahaha. She is very young yet and gets easily distracted...only frustrating thing is when you have her outside for about 15 minutes and does nothing and then comes in the house and within 2 minutes she decides to do her business or she is totally involved with playing with the cats and then she just stops and does her thing. Also - she hates going on wet grass so that will be a problem come winter. But what we just bought was a little dog house that we'll put on our deck right outside our patio door so when it rains or when it starts to snow hopefully she will go in there!
