Sylvan, Redvett, and all these others have nailed it right on (they are wise beyond their years...which I'm gonna guess is 25 years old
. If your puppy isn't directly under your supervision, Royce won't think anything of just goin where he wants to. It is very time consuming, but it does work. My puppy is about 6 months now, and pretty much 100% trained, but for the first few months I wasn't sure if he would ever get it. Whenever he wasn't in the bathroom with a pee pad, I was hovering right over him every second. It stressed me out at first, but after a while you will get the hang of it. Good luck!
