I am so happy for you. These little cuties are a lot of work, but they give so much in return, as you know.

One more tip -- if you catch Bella in the act of going potty inside your house, then it is okay to give her a sharp, rapid "Uh uh uh" (like no, no, no). The correction has to be at the same moment as the undesirable behavior for the dog to make the connection.

ETA: Take Mary's expert advice above to not interrupt your pup while she is going potty.
