We must also have been mean. We didnt let Jasper into the living room until he was more or less toilet trained which was only a couple of weeks to be honest. He's nearly 6 months now and we've only had a couple of accidents. He already jumps at the back door handle to tell us he wants a wee!
Crate training has been a god send for us too. Jasper normally goes in around 10.30 and gets up when we get up, has been as late as 8.30am on occasion. He wouldn't choose to go in there to sleep during the day though, prefers mommys lap!! It also is very useful when we've just got back from a wet walk, we pop him in his crate and he's usually so tired he flakes out (drying out in the process), think this has saved our cream carpets.......so far.
