Abby is 8.5 months now. We have had her since 5.5 months. She requires supervision EVERY moment and that even doesn't help sometimes, like last night! I am putting clothes in my closet and she walks into the closet and pees. We been so consistent and have had no problems with Brady but I can't make Abby understand! We train her on the bell every time she goes out, even though she doesn't get it, HUGE praises and treats when she goes outside (and she does go everytime we are outside, she clearly understands what to do out there, but doesn't seem to understand that out there is the ONLY place to go), natures miracle for all messes and we send her outside immediately for a bit, no UTI's, I keep her babygated wherever I am. She's good in her crate while we are at work but I am not going to crate her 24 hours a day to avoid accidents...she needs to learn, I want her to be able to roam in the house and run upstairs to her "playroom" whenever she wants, but we can't allow her to when she needs supervision every moment! We have done everything by the book and adfter 3 months, she still doesn't quite get it. Sometimes we catch her pacing and even praise her for that as we run her out the door, but sometimes just completely unexpected, like last night!
Any ideas beyond the usual ones? Thanks so much!
