Im reading this and truely feel blessed, Laci is 5 months old , she came to me pee pad trained at 12 weeks, very lucky till I got my rugs cleaned, then she had accidents , so I started taking her outside, other then 1 accident she has done amazing, she sits by the front door and barks or hops up and down in front of me if I dont see her by the front door!! I have to say that I am home all day and with her all the time so that has made it easier, on the down side of this , she does not know how to play alone, if I dont lay on the floor or throw something she wont play with her toys at all...
