We have 2 schnauzer/yorki mix puppies. one is my daughters and one is my sons. They will be 4 months old next week. Puppy #1 (Chewy)we have had for about 5 weeks. She does pretty well with puppy pads however she still needs to be contained in 1 room to have success all the time. when she roams free thru the house she will have accidents. Now puppy #2 (Juno) is a different story. friends took Juno since my daughter only wanted 1 puppy. Unknown to us they crated her almost all of the time, seldom letting her out, putting a puppy pad in the crate where she did her business and had to lay in it all day. Decided after 3 weeks they no longer wanted her so we took her back. My son will take her but they are building a new home and it wont be finished for about 6 more weeks and they cant have her where they are so I will keep her for them. I am lost as to how to house train her. nothing works. she gives no sign as to if she is looking for a spot. Ive seen her run full speed-stop squat pee-and take off. she wont use the puppy pad unless she is given no other choice. at night she sleeps in a pack n play with her bed and puppy pad. she usually does not go at night but i want her to have it available if needed. I have to keep her confined to a small space in the kitchen during the day otherwise she just pees everywhere. I was hoping she would see chewy using the pads and follow her but no such luck. Ive trained dogs before no problem but nothing I try works for Juno. Im at my witts end!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

keep with the confinement. It takes months sometimes with these little guys. Jess is good about 95% of the time but at 2 still has her occasional oopss.
