Hello all!
Our puppy is going to be 4 months old on 07/27/07 and we've had him since the end of May. We're doing the crate training, (Love It) but we are still having accidents. Usually it's in the evening when we are home and he's having free play time. We've been leaving the door proped open during play time and he does go outside to do his business, but every now and then he will just squat in the house. He's a smart dog and seems eager to please. I'm just at my wits end about what to do about this. Is this normal for his age? Are we giving him too much freedom during play time? At what age should I expect him to be potty trained? (So I can rent a steam cleaner, lol) Any suggestions would be wonderful! Thanks!
