And it truly is like a light switching on.

I really don't remember my Maggie (now 4) being much of a problem, and Mollie Kate (RIP) was a bit older...like 5 months when I got her and seemed to have it mastered in about 3 weeks, but my MacKenzie...I was beginning to dispair of her EVER catching on... She hit right around 6 months and WHAM...no more accidents! The crate is clean and dry all night. (Of course she does wake me up at around 3:00 every night to be let out...but at least she's letting me know about it). She's pretty well making it through the day...

I think it's just a matter of their little bladders having to grow to a certain capacity for them to learn. (I have very small Yorkies: Maggie is right around 4 pounds and MacKenzie's growth seems stalled at just over 3 pounds).
