Help! My baby's name is Gilbert. I have tried everything with the whole housetraining. He is 8 mos the end of the month....what am I doing wrong? I work out of my house so I am able to take him out regularly, but a lot of the day I have to keep him in his pen b/c he pees on the carpet. I can take him out and he will pee 3-4 times sometimes ( I guess marking?) and then come right back in and pee when I'm not looking. I am so frustrated b/c he sleeps with me and has only had one accident. We go to bed sometimes at 930 and he can hold it until about 630am. I have been putting a pee pad in the pen while I'm working, especially if I have to leave. Is this my mistake? I've been reading other posts and they say I shouldn't. I fell bad that he can't have more free time since I'm home a lot but I can't trust him if I'm not staring at him every minute!!!! Any advice would be appreciated....and I'm just gettig started folks....
