That's really young

My Gracie is 9 months old. She tells me when she needs to go out but if you miss the signal she will have an accident in short order.
Our house is very open and when she is given the run of the house I guess it is just so much space for her age/development that she cannot perceive of all that space being her "den". Therefore she does eliminate.
I have total faith that we will get this under control. Not worried. Just takes alot of time and patience. They so want to please. I don't think it is on purpose.. they just have to be "ready".
