Unfortunatley the belly bands don't really house train them but they do save your carpet!!! My poor Brodie would never leave a gated area if it wasn't for belly bands. He lifts his leg on EVERYTHING. My mom was visiting and she laid her coat on the back of the couch and he jumped up there and lifted his leg on her coat!
He had his belly band on though so nothing happened but I couldn't believe it!
So don't feel bad, we all have our little trouble makers
Trust me...you'll LOVE belly bands. No more pee! OH! Just an occasional tootsi roll to pick up here and there LOL!
Good Luck !!!!!!!!!
