It is so frustrating when they have accidents in the house! But like Lbaker said, in hindsight it is worth the frustration. Malone has had 2 or 3 "accidents" in the house since he was completely trained, and this is my theory. He gets really good at asking to go, no accidents in the house, and so naturally we relax on the praising/discipline. He then thinks that he can try and get away with it (because we aren't in that training mode). We usually catch him in the act, and then he is good as gold again for a couple of months. And the cycle turns around again. So since the last time, I have kept on top of praising him and making sure that he asks to go out before just taking him. And so far (knock on wood) it's probably been 2 months. Just my theory...
