I noticed you stated paper train...are you referring to weewee pads? My babies use weewee pads. Timmy will be 5 months and Mimi will be 4 months old next week. We are now 100% potty trained! Its takes time and you have to be consistant. I took mine to the pads every 1/2 hour when I first got them and told them "Go potty" make sure you stick with one word. Everytime they went potty I praised them and gave them treats. If I wasn't able to watch them I would put them in their crates. Just remember never let her out of your sight. If she makes a mistake tell her NO and put her on the pads or where ever else you want her to go potty then put her in her crate. When ever you see her sniffing around the floor get her attention and tell her to follow you to the potty area and tell her go potty. Try not to carry her too much to her potty area. Doing this will teach her where she needs to go. Another thing...don't clean up the mess when she is watching you. Place her in her crate and then go clean it up. You can use vinegar and water to clean the area.

It will get better for you... like I said it takes time.

I did a lot of research on this subject and came to the conclusion that the best solution has been to crate train my Coco. I have only had her for one week, but she has only had a few accidents.

I got her on a Friday so over the weekend I was able to get into routine of being in her crate and going out side of relieve herself. On the week days I take her out in the morning and play with her for about 30 mins, my parents take her out again at 11, 1, and 3, and once I get home keep my eye on her most of the time. Good luck.

Wow! So weird I have a little Roxy also, she is 14 weeks old and we are having some of the same problems. She goes outside sometimes and on the paper sometimes but for the most part she likes to go on the carpet. She just learned two weeks ago to not potty in the crate...Thankfully. The trick was to put her bed where she would go and sleep and get her used to her bed. Then I put her bed in her crate and it worked. They won't pee in there bed. She's very hyper so listening is a big issue, I think training them to go outside just takes a lot of time and patience, I'm just hoping she will begin to calm down soon...lol. Keep me posted on how things are going.
