Is it possible to gate off a certain room or two for them that is not carpeted? Rocco doesn't have free roam yet, but he is left out of his crate while we are not home and has the kitchen, dining/family area (NO carpets). I close the bedroom off the kitchen and gate the hallway to contain him. When I'm home and have time to watch him (like a hawk) I will allow him to be in other rooms while I'm with him and teach him as I go. So please be patient and don't feel badly - looks like most of us are in the same boat!
