She doesn't mess her pen that she sleeps in so she definitely can hold it and when she has to go she cries to wake us. I thought about the weather because I know she is a Florida girl and doesn't like the cold but today was 70 and she only went outside once when I took her. The rest of the time she wouldn't go when I had her outside and a few minutes after we come back in she goes in the house. So holding it is not a problem, knowing she should go outside is not a problem since she was pretty reliable just after Thanksgiving, and she will go outside to look around so she is not afraid of the doggy door or the yard. We are in the process of selling our house and moving back to the Villages and I really want to get this taken care of before we do. We can't even consider a house with carpet or laminate at this point. And my husband works from home so having her crated and barking (her bark is out of this world loud) is not an option and I work outside the home. Its so frustrating. Any of you want to take her and train her for us? LOL
