Potty training is hard - no doubt about it. Each and every person has their own techniques. I personally, disagree with rubbing noses.

That said, I do agree with constant supervision until trained. The idea is to allow the puppy to err and then correct the behavior. If you cannot watch the pup 110% - then it must stay in the crate. Easier said than done - right? Yeah, I know! The #1 mistake is trying to do something else while the puppy is out.

Believe me, this works - we trained Bailey in 2 mos. It was 2 mos of total devotion to Bailey's training. Our lives were completely on hold during those two months - but it was worth it!!! Good Luck!
