I had Fiona completey house trained at 3.5 months! I was shocked, considering I am 26 yrs old, and she is my first puppy since ive moved out of my parents house! Anywhos, I can tell you that Crate training is AWESOME!

As soon as you let your little one out of the crate in the am, first thing is to take them outside. As soon as they do something, you want to come up with a command word...but you are going to be saying this word while they are in the process of doing something, not before, not after, and make sure you reward, reward, reward when they do something!

When Fiona goes pee pee, i would simply say " good pee pee, good girl" all while she is doing so......

make sure you are consistant with this, and if you have others in the home, make sure you are all saying the same command word.....

for some reason, when i tell fiona to squat, she pees now, so she is doing awesome, and pretty much i have her on command!

its sooo easy, and so fun when they finally do so!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
