Thanks so much for the wonderful advice. I am going to start the 30 minute thing today. He is a pretty good boy and usually always looks to me for direction even when he steps onto the pad. I am usually in the same room as him as he is only allowed in one end of the house, however I will be opening the gate and having him follow me into the bathroom or bedroom when I go there so I can always keep my eye on him. I am pretty sure that when we get him completely "outside" trained in the cold weather he won't be going so often. I will work hard over the next few days and keep you all posted. |
