    Wow, there are so many methods of what works for each individual and each individual dog. When its time to potty train I use a few different methods. First, keep her in the room closest to the door that you want her to go out of. Have her gated in that room until she can master it. (you can have her in other rooms with you during the day as long as she is supervised with you). Once she can tell you she has to go potty from that one room closest to the door, this means you always asking at certain times if she has to go potty, move the gate to the next adjoining room to the room closest to the door until she masters that room. After that again extend her movement with the gate to the next adjoining room and so on. Now if she poops on the floor, don't pick it up and throw it away but move it to the outside area that you want her to use. It's a challenge, but if you love your fur baby you will be up for it and with determination you will come out the winner with a happy housebroken little Cocker. Have fun!!!!

    What has always worked for me is to write down the time when they
    would potty and what they did (#1 or #2 or both) and also log what time
    they have eaten.
    At night I would pick up the water dish at a certain hour
    and make certain there were a couple of potty breaks between taking up the
    water and bedtime. I always crate train too which is a very big help with
    housetraining I have found, along with watching them like a hawk when out
    of the crate.
    The meals were always at the same hour and between that and the above
    mentioned a schedule was set quickly and was pretty much like clockwork
    as long as the schedule was adhered to.
    The excited urination should taper off at time goes on.
