[Dolce's Mom]

Dolce was about 95% trained on the pee pad when she was about 3 months old...then she started reverting back and going wherever she wanted. I was so frustrated and whenever i saw her going someplace where she was not supposed to, i yelled at her. They are very smart and i think she was looking for the attention or she was mad that we weren't paying attention to her at the time. After i saw that, I went right back to how i trained her when i first got her...whenshe would wake up in teh morning i would place her on the pad and say "go pee pee", she never had trouble with the pooping part, she always got that right on the pad!! Oh and I would watch her like a hawk when she was out of the playpen. I know its hard to have your eye on them ALL the time, but its god until u can be sure she is going to go on teh pad. Alot of times she would be right by the pad and just be missing it by an inch, of course i never yelled at her then...she had the right idea, just the wrong dimensions of the pee pad. The only yelling i did was if she was in the hallway, or in the middle of the living room and looked at us and squatted. She is now 7 mths old and goes on the pad about 98% of the time...of course there is the occasional accident, but it is always like an inch or 2 from the pad. Don't worry, ur baby will get the hang of it if you are consistent about putting her on that pad and watching her and directing her to it. Try spotting the pad like other people said with her pee. She will associate this area with peeing then. She is still very young, so give her time and tell ur roomate to be a little more patient with a 3 mth old baby!!! Good luck!!
