It's like Pampers size 6. You have to take your kid out of diapers if you want him potty trained. You're going to have some accidents, but who wants a 7 year old still peeing in a diaper. The key is to punish when they have an accident and reward when they go where they are supposed to. It works for kids and it works for dogs.
I think belly bands should only be used for a dog that has a specific bladder issue that cannot be controlled.

But - does this keep him from wetting - not in the least. HOWEVER - it does keep his pee from going on my carpet. And that is the only reason he wears it.
I even tell my little guy - "You're suppose to come and get me "before you pee" not "after you pee." But - he never does......
