ive had my little one since 3 mnths shes now 6 mnths and still not fully xactly trained..she kinda tells us when she goes out but sometimes she'll forget so if we arent on top of her reminded her of"potty time" she might occassionally have an accident in the house..
i too crate trained her...i came home to several messes b/c both my husband and i both worked . I did have my mom go into my apt to walk her but i guess the were both on opposite schedules...i finally gave up an put a raised floor grate in the crate w/a wee wee pad underneath..so that incase she had to go atleast she wouldnt be sitting in it..and making a big old yucky mess...its not the best method of training but she does go outside all the time to potty except the accident every now n then...
