Thank you both for responding. I wish I knew more about this, but I haven't gotten a call yet. That makes me really nervous. In cases like this, many times they bring the pet to the SPCA b/c they give up and the one here in Monroe County, PA is very, very bad. They don't keep pets more than 48 hours and they are euthanized. So, as you can imagine, I'm really concerned. I wish somebody got a name and number, but they didn't, they just gave my number to them. People make me crazy.

Much of the time it's about how the person is training. I'm anxious to find out how they are attempting to housebreak. I thought 30 minutes would be enough but you're right, if it's not the right time for the dog, then they won't go. But from what I understand from the caller, it's usually 5 minutes after they come in that the dog goes on the floor. That kind of time is just too close to being outside. I really wish I had taken that call. Like I said, I wanted to get a heads-up before they called me so I had some kind of suggestions for them. I will ask them the questions that you gave me Karen, and I will make the suggestions that you gave Giselle. I thank you both. I'll let you know what happens. Have a great night!
