I suspect the places that he goes have already been "gone" on...I absolutely, positively could not get Apple housebroken, until I took up the carpet in the livingroom/dining room, and put down laminate floor....Apple was also going nicely, in the kitchen, where she was gated, while I was at work.....Within two weeks, she was completely housebroken....However, I decided, at this time, to also train her outside...I think the problem is, that no matter what you may use to get rid of the residue of urine, nothing really takes it all out, so there is always the temptation (probably from the carpet pad)...I know some people seem to have success w/"used" carpet, but I didn't...Btw, I do rush home, on my lunch hr. and let her out...So far, the longest I've left her is 7 hrs....She is 11 months old and weighs between 4 1/2 - 5 lbs., so I'm thinking that's about the longest I can let her go, for right now...
