I would just like to say I feel very lucky with my pup as I can count on one hand the amount of accidents he has had!! I'm not saying he is perfect as we have other problems at the mo like the biting and pulling on the lead but as for toilet training he has been a dream!!
We got him when he was 9 wks and he his now 7 mths and like I say only a couple of accidents!!
I agree, get a crate, they are a god send!! Dont know how we would of coped without one!! With a Springer it's the only way we can make him calm down and rest, otherwise he would lay for about 2 mins and then get up and go again!! And he would never go toilet in there!! He goes in about 10.30pm and gives us a call about 6.30 ish to go out, he dont bark either he sort of gives a little squeek like he knows not to wake everyone, bless him!!
