Yep - they sure are fast!!!! So fast, that we put Bailey in a crate if we turned away - even if just for a sec. An accident is a missed training opportunity and can really set ya back.

I'm sure the crate training works - and we did use a hybrid of that method - but I didn't want to miss all her her puppyhood in a crate. Another thing I did was lay down blankets in the family room and washed them after every accident to 1) save the carpet and 2) remove the odor to prevent repeat accidents.

I was "obsessed" with potty training - fortunatley, we have a wonderful lil girl and was pleased with the results.
