| I feel for you and Galen! Princess Sophie doesn't seem to mind being tethered. I think she's actually learning to walk with a leash by doing this. She just trots alongside me as I move from room to room. I do not tether her when she's in her playpen. She does however have some free time in the evening as that is the time of day when she runs laps around the den. It's pretty funny to watch. She kind of creates her own race track, around the hassock, the Cloud 9, my embroidery stand, and in and out of the big bed under the end table and in and out of her playpen. She's a hoot to watch. We only allow this after she has done all of her business so as to avoid mistakes. I think this will work for us, now all I have to do is stay on top of it. LOL I figure if she "goes" somewhere she shouldn't, it's my fault not hers. LOL

| It appears that she's got the #1 down pretty good. We haven't had any of those accidents in quite a while. When she's confined to the den she will stop whatever she's doing, dart into her play pen and go #1. I'm so proud of her. It's #2 that we are having difficulty with. We always praise her and give her treats when she does #2 on the pad, in the playpen or bathroom (next door) but if she's not tethered, she will find a spot behind the sofa and let loose. That's what we are really tethering her for right now. I really think it's just a matter of time and she will have it all figured out but for right now, we're working on rewarding success.

| I just want to clarify... Are you tethering because you are taking her outside or to prevent accidents? I am confused as to whether you are using pads or not.

| The only other bit of advice I can offer is to make the 'Good Potty Celebration' extra special, so she looks at you like maybe you have gone off your rocker... I had to do that with my Sapphire, and I could see the expression change on her face from being a 'Good Girl' to 'Wow, that really made Mom happy!'

| what are you using to tether? I went to petco and there wasn't much there. I was thinking of just getting some thin rope and clips tied to the end. thx |

| We just use a regular length leash and harness. Of course it's pink to match all her other things! LOL I'll post a pict.
