Hi Susan
Welcome to COL - it is very addictive, so be warned.  Can't help about the house training, but someone will be along who can I am sure.
Looking forward to photos.
Penny,   Dexter (cavalier x poodle), Alfie (Whippet cross)  and  Maximus the cocker spaniel!!

RIP my 2 most gorgeous cocker girls - Buffy and Harriet - both waiting for me at the bridge. Joined by my beloved Josie taken too soon and Suki aged 13 :(

Hi there, lovely news.  New to the site too, but we have recently adopted a rescue cocker who came from a puppy farm. House training going well, just kept taking her outside on a very regular basis.  Treats for going outside, nothing if it happens in the house.  Not foolproof, and we are no experts, this seemed to work for us. Next task is to get her to 'ask' to go out, but happy with things just now. Lots of luck and enjoy.
