Four months is very young. You have to just keep at it. It does get frustrating. She will backslide.
I too cordoned off an area in the kitchen to limit his area. I got him at 5 months and I wouldn't say he was really trained until he was 7 months. Some go faster.
I also include the major backward step he took. I had let him out of the kitchen and after a couple of weeks he started going inside again. I put him back into the kitchen, and he understood why and shaped up again really fast.
Good luck. I would feel most frustrated when I heard about people who trained their dog in under a week!
Hang in there! |
