You have gotten some really good advice so I don't really have much to add. Eventually *the message* will get through! Bella got the idea about "poopies" much quicker than pee. I think that's because I was able to have her in the yard at the right time (right after meals). I am also an advocate for crate training. I think it does speed up the process considerably. Good luck!

Me too! Plus it was winter and I was out there early in the morning sometimes in the sleet and snow wearing a bathrobe!
Now that was a scary sight!
