He has not had an accident in a long time (about 2-3months) in the pen--in the beginning we would put a belly band on him and now he doesn't need one. He is 100% potty trained when we are at home. Thank goodness we found something that works...it was a nightmare!!
Oops I forgot to add that Snickers is in his playpen from 9am-11am and then from 12:30pm-3:30pm, about 5 hours total w/ a break in between when my husband comes home for lunch. If he didn't have that lunchbreak, we would never have gotten Snickers...I would feel too bad leaving a dog at home alone for so long each day. Snickers has free reign of the whole house when we are home...he is generally in the same room we are...
