I have 3 suggestions:

1. Here is a GREAT site with TONS of information. Please don't be turned off that it is a site for bichons; most of the essays apply for ALL dogs!

http://www.bichonfriseusa.com/index....ational%20mark

Scroll down watching the middle column. You will see "Puppy Information." Under that, there are some essays on house training which may help you.

2. Until you get things under control, please consider a belly band (for males) or a bikini (for females). These will help save your carpets, sofa, and sanity! You put in a Poise pad and dispose of when used. I will give you a link for one place which sells belly bands and bikinis, just so you can see what they look like and get an idea of price. This link, as you scroll down there are different prices for different ones.

You can also find them at Pet Edge (www.petedge.com) Less money; no photo to see how it will look ON.

And the link in #1 above also has a market palce where they sell belly bands.
