Thanks for the advice everyone...sorry I didn't reply earlier I lost my login & lost all my emails.

She is now house trained although she gives no indication of when she wants to go she's only been once in the house (on a brand new carpet fitted hours earlier) in the last couple of months.

I just take her for walks & she does it first thing in the morning & last thing at night. If we're in the garden which isn't much this year with the weather she goes as & when.

I'll look at the poochie bells as she is easy to train in every other department.
