I don't know what it is with Archie. The rest of you seem to be doing much better at housebreaking that we are.
He's seven months and does great when we take him outside, but he still is unreliable about telling us he wants out. We have bells on the door and everything.
We are on a pretty regular schedule - out for a walk in the morning, into the crate for a few hours, outside again, close supervision for a while, another good long walk right before dinner. He always goes potty fine when we are out with him.
I am frustrated now, though because the last two days in a row he has peed in the living room, right in front of us, as we are bustling about making dinner etc. Right after a good walk outside! It's like having a 2-year old that is fine until you need to focus your attention somewhere else.
I know the answer to this is to supervise him more closely, but when will he get go the point where he is reliably going potty outside???
