I think females are really hard to house break. Piper is now 10 months old and even though she rarely has an accident I don't consider her trained because she never asks to go out. It is up to me to make sure she goes out every couple hours and she always goes outside. She never ever poos in the house but there have been times when she is running after a ball and there is a trail of pee following her down the hall. I don't know why she can't ask to go out. I guess in a way she does, she'll does a little potty spin in front of the slider over and over, (kitchen is where she stays) but unless somebody is in the kitchen with her you're not going to notice. My male yorkie was a piece of cake to train. By 12 weeks old he was completely trained and during his 13 years never had accidents. He always barked at the slider to go out. Now, why can't Piper do that?
