I must get serious!!!! I can laugh at them AFTER I ignore them. Right??? hehehe.
Potty on the pad is working pretty well. The older one has got it 97.62% of the time. The younger one poo-poos on the pad but hasn't quite learned that pee-pee is potty too. So she pee-pees on the hardwood floors 
I will check out those links. Thanks for the advice. I really need all the help I can get.

I use a sound that is hard to describe, like AA AA AA AA, the noise always gets Newton's attention. I only use it in the highest priority situations, and if he doesn't heed it, I will thump him (he hates that). So, I use that sound for curb aversion (he will not go near the street) and things of that priority level. It's when he KNOWS I mean business.
