If you only give her small pieces you shouldn't have that problem. I break up Benji's treats into very tiny pieces just enough to give him the taste without filling him up. I'm sure in time you will be able to recognize the signs before she has an accident inside. Benji will sniff around until he finds a good spot, then he does circles before doing the deed. I've caught him several times before it hit the floor.Creating a schedule for her potty time will help too, as long as you are consistent. If you're unable to watch her try closing in your kitchen or buying a x-pen for her to play in. I'm here all day with my babies but it is still hard to watch Benjamin every second to prevent accidents (potty mistakes and dangerous ones like chewing on computer cords) especially when I have to clean the house....that is why we ordered a play pen for him...so I don't have to lock him in his crate when I have to scrub the bathroom or do other things that prevent me from watching him. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Mojo is a very picky eater and the best treats I found for him and for training are Yorkie Yummies from Cindy (chattiesmom). They are already small little pieces (which no worry about swallowing them because they will crunch them and savor every bit of it)...and are convenient too!

I tried Cheerios, but found that they got damp and got caught in Mojo's hair around his mouth....YUCK. I did like them, but Yorkie Yummies are now are training (and every day) treat.

Here is her link for Yorkie Yummies:

I guess I am paranoid...I just bought some goldfish crackers last week but I think she would choke..I will try moistening it first...the cherese sounds perfect...I would think that would give her bubble guts...I am definitely gonna try that
