Pixie who is 22 months old still doesn't have free roam of the house when we are not home. We put up a childsgate between livingroom and a hallway to the rest of the house. She has full roam of the Livingroom, diningroom and kitchen. Also some the doors are closed. She is pretty much potty trained, but she will poop in my livingroom when we are gone. She'll poop and pee every morning outside, but sometime during the day she'll poop in the livingroom. I'm only feeding once at day at dinnertime and it still doesn't help. When we are home she has full roam of the house and no accidents. She'll let us know when she needs to go out. It does take time an patients.
