My little boy (7 months old) is confined to the kitchen area when I work - and he uses his pee pad during most of this time.
BUT - if he has free run of the house - he rarely returns to use his pee pad and pees when and whereever he wants. So he wears belly bands when he has free run of the house.
Summer is coming - and we are certainly going to go outside more. He will pee when we are outside - which is good - because this gives me an opportunity to praise him for peeing where he should.
These little guys are really stinkers. Before I used belly bands, I would catch him starting to pee on the carpet and yell at him - and he would literally quit peeing mid stream and then run as fast as his legs would carry him to another part of the house where he could get away from me and finish peeing --in another wrong place.
It's not easy - right?
