Kimber44 | 12-24-2008 08:18 AM | SUCCESS in potty training Hi, If you are like I was for months you will see this and go really? how? I'm so frustrated. Lily is FINALLY potty trained and has even started going to the door and whimpering when she needs to go out (twice this morning hurray). She will be 9 months old on January 4th and it has simply been consistency, persistence, and really close monitoring. We have taken her out every 1-2 hr during the day,scheduled meals so we know when she'll poop, given treats and lavish praise, used the same place in the yard each time, crated her at night (8-10 hr and shes fine), give lots of exercise with a ball so shes not totally psycho and unfocused, and yes I've yelled NO when she has had accidents in the house and cleaned with the proper carpet cleaner to take out all smell. I couldn't get a better Xmas present than this. HURRAY!!! We are a few weeks now without accidents.:yelrotflm..........oh ya...so happy..Kimberly |
