I have a four month old Yorkie male. He just does not get the potty thing so I put a belly band on him. I still take him to his potty pad during the night and outside throughout the day. However, he will still come inside and go on my carpets and it's driving me crazy (hence why he is now belly banded). At 4 months I think its time to really progressively work on this training issues. 95% of the time he goes #2 on his potty pad, but not #1. I feel the belly band is inhibiting him from learning to hold it (but is saving my carpets).

For those of you that transitioned from the belly band. What were your strategies? Any helpful advice?
