Hi. I hope things are improving for you now?

Do be sure to get out on the hour every hour during the day to ensure you catch what you do want in the right location.

Be sure not to reprimand any mistakes as your dogs knows no better at this age. Just clean up and start again.

I do not favour puppy pads as they can encourage toileting in the home...just what you don't want!

The use of a crate is invaluable to place the dog inside for short periods when you can't directly supervise the dog.

Hope that helps a little?
