I'm not sure my pup will ever be trained either (8 to 9 months old).
BUT - I take him outside every two hours or so ---and he never pee's in the house. He pee's his little heart out outside!!!
IF I didn't take my pup outside regularly, he would pee anywhere he wants in the house......
So which one of us is potty trained -- him or me!
Whatever - it works!
-----------------
1) He is confined to the kitchen/laundry room area when I work - and most of the time he doesn't pee the 6 or 7 hours I am gone.
2) He almost never pees during the night -
3) And, I put belly bands on him - if I'm busy and may not get him out in a timely manner. I also put a belly band on him at night (just in case), but it is almost always dry in the morning.
My pup is an outdoor pee'er. I gave up on potty pads a long time ago - he thinks they are toys and tears them up into a million pieces.
******* So - the end result is that my pup's being potty trained is just my doing my share of the work and taking him outside often. But, like I said --
it works!
