Hi neighbor! I used to live in Katy, but we moved about a year ago to Lufkin. We have a female who is completely potty trained, so it makes training a little easier. We have Darby wear the belly band while in the house. When we go outside, we take it off. Darby has only had one accident in the belly band. It really isn't an accident, but he has urinated in his band. It seems that he doesn't want the wet pad against his body, so he will not potty in the band. We will of coarse, take the band off when he is completely trained. Darby doesn't wear the band at night, because he sleeps in the bed with us and doesn't get off. He is such a good boy, he holds it all night. We also had Nancy make some piddle pads that work great when we have to leave. We put the piddle pad down and leave the dogs in a closed off area and they use the piddle pad if they have to. HTH a little.
