[Zanders' mom]

Hmm, we close off the bedrooms, so the 2 have access to the dining room, living room, hallways and entry way. While in training Zander was very good about not having accidents, in a yr. I would say he had 4 and they were spread apart, mainly my fault for being too busy to get that he was wanting outside. However, regardless of how efficient he was with his potty habits, I didn't let my guard down & watched him and took him outside even when he didn't ask to go. He is now close to two years old and he has been accident free. Jazzie was a quick learner, she knows to go to the back door and smack the bells to let me know she has to go outside to pipi, I still keep a watchful eye on her, its all about the treats for her. I did actually read that it can take up to 2 years of consistent training to truly trust them on their own. Perhaps others may have an opinion related to that.
Good luck.
