New house
 

I just want to share how amazed I am at how well Layla is doing with potty training in our new house! (KNOCK ON WOOD!)

I bought a condo last summer and I was at my wit's end with her peeing on the carpet! I resorted to ripping out all of the carpet and replacing it with laminate flooring, which seemed to solve the problem. I'd say she was 100% trained without an accident for at least the last 2 months.

Then of course, my boyfriend and I stumbled upon a listing for our dream house and it was on the market forever without any offers... so we thought why not? We put in an offer, and before we knew it, our offer was accepted and our condo was sold!

I was beyond nervous about bringing Layla to the new place. It's an old 1916 2.5 story house with original hardwoods throughout. We moved on Saturday and brought her there Saturday night. We put one pad by the back door and we all went to sleep upstairs. To our amazement, we came down in the morning to two pee spots on the pad, and nothing anywhere else :eek: She actually went down to pee TWICE!

I had planned to have her cordoned off in one area while we're at work but she is doing so great I don't think there's a need. Yesterday we left her for the day to go to work and she faithfully used her pads again!

Could it be that after 4.5 years, my baby is finally TRAINED??? :D

Congrats on the new house! It sounds fantastic! Extra Congrats to Layla for being such a good girl!! I hope she keeps it up! :)

Thanks! I may have spoke to soon because she has now pooped in the living room :rolleyes: But I suppose that's better than a pee!

Layla will get the hang of it! I had a dog years ago and it took 5 years for him to realize he needs to poo outside! Talk about patience...;)

I'm so happy for you. I know that takes a load of worry off your shoulders.:)

Congratulations on the fabulous home! :) And also on your baby being trained :cheer:

Thanks everyone!!!

Sweet Apple, Layla would pee on the carpet in our old house as well (a rental), and even on an area rug we had under the table. BUT when we would visit my parents or my grandma or anyone else with carpet or area rugs, she wouldn't use them at all :confused: But I think we're going to be a no-carpet family forever now lol.

The hardwoods in our place are all original and have not been refinished at all, so there are some spaces between boards every once in awhile and I love how old and worn they look, but I worry that if she pees, it'll get in a crack and we'll never totally clean it out :rolleyes:
