I always did it in the summer so they would not be cold being bottomless and we carried the port-a-potty with us in every room of the house... wherever we went, it was there too. It worked. And we had very, very few accidents.<BR/><BR/>My remaining list of what to do b4 summer's over...<BR/>1. hike down to the creek with my kids before school starts.<BR/>2. write/polish writing samples for an educational publisher/packager.

Buy those "pee mats" they sell at pet stores or WalMart. Go ahead adn get the good brands, at least to start with...they have a scent that attracts the dog to pee there, and the dog will naturally want to go to the bathroom there.<BR/><BR/>2. Once you get him using the mats, start moving them closer and closer to the door. Also, if the food bowl is near the door, that's good--he won't want to go near food.<BR/><BR/>3. Keep an eye out--when he starts to go near the door,jump up and kick him outside. Eventually take the mats away--he'll still go to the door, but will wait for you to open it.<BR/><BR/>It took a solid 2 months or so to train our dog, but once trained, he's never gone inside the house again.<BR/><BR/><BR/>...heh. Just read the comments and realized you meant human potty training. This might not be quite as applicable then, but feel free and try it out :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431700962951592287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3826613836999507560.post-24764469096278360702008-08-19T11:45:00.000-04:002008-08-19T11:45:00.000-04:00Hi, Amy!

Alexa Young and I made a list of the best things about staying in diapers forever - never have to get up from your bar stool and you never have to feel bad when you have to wear them again when you're old.
