I also take her outside about every hour unless she has just ate or drank a ton. She knows the word outside. If I say do you gotta go outside...she'll run to the door. I just reall want her to be able to tell me on her own without me having to ask. Just crossing my fingers for oneday!

It sounds like you are doing a lot of great things. She is still young. Perhaps incorporating the bells would help her tell you. I have one who tells me & one who doesn't - but she'll go to the pad if I don't notice she's wanting to go out - but mine were 2 when I adopted them, so I didn't have that early time with them that you have

It sounds like you are dong great. Keeping her confined when you can't watch her, tieing her to you, taking her out on a schedule...those are all things I've heard from seasoned mommies. I am certainly no expert. I put a belly band on my male (I got him when he was 5), and my girl rings the bell (everytime she wants me to do anything for her). Suffice it to say...they have me trained.

Anyway, welcome. This is a fantastic place to learn all about our beloved babies.
