I have a six month old boy and a 3 month old girl. At first I had them in the pen all day and that just wasnt working. Sometimes they would use the pads and sometimes not. When they were out of the pen they just went wherever they happened to be at the time. I too got tired of always cleaning up after them and having to bathe them every day. Anyway, I crate them together and it seems to work for us. They are getting better and better everyday. They have only had one accident in the crate together. I have only been doing it for a little over a week and it is working out great. I am also bell training them for when they are free in the house. My little girl (who is only 3 months) has already gotten the idea of the bell training. She taps the bell with her paw and out she goes! The bell training is taking longer for my little guy but when she goes out he goes out as well. I have been following Housebreak your dog in seven days and I just customized the schedule to fit our schedule. It is working for us. Good luck! |
