To be totally honest, it took me 8 months before my little girl was totally housebroken - and she is - 100% trained to go on the pee pads in the laundry room area. We have a little guy now who is 8 months and found that he is a little tougher. When I feel like he has gotten it - he'll leave me with a little surprise. Its harder for me to crate train because I have the one out and I feel its not fair to have the other one crated. I do keep them in the laundry room area at night and when we go out, but when we are at home, I have a gate up so they won't go into the other areas of the house where I won't see them. You really have to be on top of them at all times and catch them doing it in the right place. For me, treats have helped tremendously. I use the little tiny goldfishes as treats (my kids love them - so they are always in the house), but have heard that cheerios work well also. Good luck! |
