I also have two that are completely and totally potty trained. No accidents ever! Cooper was easy to train, I did what you are describing, I took him to the same place every time and praised him and watched him like a hawk inside and said "NO" loudly and carried him outside when I caught him trying to go inside. Of course, I was home with him all the time and was able to train him completely in a couple of months. Carley was a little harder, she was pee pad trained when I got her and we had to make the transition to outside potty, but with constant supervision we got it done. We also have a potty bell on the door and Cooper will ring that if I am not paying attention, we reinforce this everytime by saying "outside" and ringing the bell as we go. We still do this. Carley "chirps" at us when she needs to go out. "Outside" is our key word and we say it every time, still to this day and Cooper is almost two years old. It can be done
