It does get better but you have to be patience, persistent and consistent. They will catch on but you have to guide them. There are plenty of people on here with excellent tips.

Your puppy is still very young but all hope is not lost. When I got my first yorkie I was beyond frustration. She was a rescue with some behavioral problems due to being caged and used only for breeding. Her potty habits were atrocious and it seemed no matter what I did, she was not catching on. I found this site and they give me tips on how to rehab a rescue and those tips worked for me. I had to do a kind of trial and error until I found a training method that worked for her. I also got a webcam so I could monitor her behavior and make any needed corrections in training methods. It seemed like a lot of work but it was worth it. She was eventually able to get run of the house.

The most important thing I did was to be patient....did not get upset for her accidents (extremely important as they can pick up on your emotions), just cleaned it up, persistent.......i did the same thing and I did the same thing consistently. Guess what? She caught on and never had an accident in the house again.

It's funny because it wasn't my dog that needed training.....I needed to learn how to train my baby and the same goes for you. There are excellent posts that you can get a lot of info from so just know you are not alone.
