We had Mocha for 15 1/2 years - the first year was ridiculous as far as potty training, but I blame a lot of that on our family's crazy scheule - running here & there. I would swear that Mocha would do her business as soon as we shut the door just to spite me! But then, finally, after about a year
she had it down. She was great the rest of her life, except for only an occassional accident. She would go to the backdoor & bark to go out & then bark to come in - sun, rain, snow, sleet, etc! Hang in there - it sounds like you are making progress. Count your blessings of a full night's sleep!
