They sorta starting picking up on using the pee pad since there was no other place to go other than their bed/crate. I just started expanding the pen more and more when they were using their pee pads sucessfully. Then you confine to bigger spaces like bathrooms or bedrooms and slowly expand if they are doing well. Hope this helps as this is the only way I have gotten one my babies to use the pee pad. Hope this helps.
Hi Julie. I'm sorry that you've all been sick at your house. I totally understand how something like potty-training can take a back seat when no one feels good. Hopefully, everyone is getting better and you can REtackle this. Actually YorkieNewbie22 has the best advice I can give. You have "regressed", so the best thing to do is to go back and start over. It'll take some work and dedication, but you said you'd try anything. The work you put into it will last for years and years and years.

Coby is now one year old and still does not have the run of the house. He is 100% potty trained in the rooms that he's allowed in, but we're still in the process of branching out to free reign.
