They are dry during the day when they are in their crates. When I take them out, they potty. The problem is when I let them run around on the patio they will pee and poop wherever. Sometimes, they will go in the planting areas which are a part of the patio. (Since it's been cold I've been taking them there. My husband made a barrier so they can't get out and do their business on the patio but when I let them run around they go. They were born July 7 and July 23. I was gone the other day for 5 hrs. and checked them when I got home. No accidents so they can hold it but don't. They sit on my lap a lot and don't have accidents. Is it just going to take longer because they're young? Should I let them run around on the patio and just clean it up? Will they stop eventually or will that make the problem worse. Wish for some advice. Thanks in advance.
