| Feel like a Failure! I am starting to feel like a failure. Peanut is 4 years old- He will be 5 in May. He isnt potty trained at 4 YEARS OLD! I know it is my fault. I have tried everything under the sun and for some reason it doesn't work. I feel as if I shouldn't even be able to own a dog if I can't have my dog potty trained, I mean really- Just had to get that off my chest.

| aaaw Sorry you are feeling this way, you are not a failure. I am still in the process of training Miss Priss and she still has accidents. Plus when I brought her home, well a couple of months later, my peke, Yoshi started marking and he was neutered at 5 months and is almost 7 yrs old.

| Awww dont say that! Ralph is potty trained but has his accidennts. He litterally just had one. Have you tried pads? Sometimes they are easier to train your dog on(: |

| Ralph is the same way! But i got a potty bell to put on the door and literally spent two weeks taking him out at the same times and everytime i made him hit the bell with his paw. And now he goes to the door and hits the bell with his nose and we go out. But it took us a while to get there. For the marking have you tried a bellyband before? |

| LOL! Ralph wasnt scared of it thank goodness...until last month when my dad came to visit...he decided to chase Ralph around the house and now ralph thinks the bell is a toy so the bell is gone but he still goes to the door. I have never used the band just heard of it. Some dogs are stubborn it doesnt make you a bad mom! (: |

| You are not a failure at all! Knock that nonsense off! Gimoz when he was little liked to pee on bathroom rugs, so I just started closing all the bathroom doors. Is it possible to confine Mr. Peanut's access of the house until he can be trusted a little bit more? What about belly bands? Those actually helped us with potty training because Gizmo hated them being on and hated the feeling if he wet in it.

LOL I cant help it!! Peanut does only have access to the kitchen, living room and dining room- The only place I can put a gate up is the hall- which is where the room and bathrooms are- Peanut loved the bands, Loved them so much he peed in them and didnt mind it!

| LOL oh yes he did. Oh no hahah. I never got the band. I know my old boss used it with her male yorkie he stood like a deer in headlights when he had it on! I am so thankful ralph doesnt even know how to lift his leg! When he sees other dogs do it he just stares like hes so fascinated how they are able to do that. Lol |
