Mostly it's if she naps and we're not looking when she get up it's pee time.

It's only been a week so far.

You should always take them out immediately after a nap. It's an easy way to train them that outside is the place to go...even if it's a lot when they're a pup. Ah...the joy of puppies!  ;D

Another good method is to hang a bell on the door, then ring it every time they go out. They'll quickly learn to ring the bell when they want out, so you don't miss it. My parents did this with their pup and it worked really well (they used a small string of Christmas sleigh bells).  [thumbsup]

+1 on the bells.  We trained Tiger to ring a string of bells hung by the back door.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken
