No 1s and 2s happening on the patio??

Ok so far so good. He is now sleeping out in a play pen in the lounge. He is doing everything on a puppy mat and if we get up through the night to the children he goes out and does his business on the lawn. I heat up a wheat bag and put on the talk back radio and he is fine. Dont hear a yap until we get up to the children in the morning. He has a small kennel outside under the veranda with a big quilt in it that smells like my friend's cav and curls up in there through the day and plays with his chew toys quite happily. He has had a couple of wee accidents inside but thats about it. He was chasing the 2 yo around yesterday and seemed to forget where he was and just squatted. I put him straight out on the lawn to get him to go. It has rained today and is a common occurence for Cavs not to get their paws wet and he has done it on the concrete which is a bit annoying. Not sure how to get him out of this habbit. Where do we go from here now that we have gotten him mat trained?? Asleep in DH's arms with my one year old

Princess you obviously dont have children!! LOL I have two boys under 3 and trust me the pup is sooo much easier. THis one has toilet trained to a mat and he is just 9 weeks old. He plays a lot on his own through the day but gets a lot of attention also. At night i heat up the wheat bag, put his blankets around him and put the talk back radio on and barely get so much as a whimper now until 6 when he goes out. The baby wakes three times a night because of teething!

I understand that. Just wanted some ideas on how to stophim from being upset. Will upload pics once my pc is working.

Hi there. I have an 8 wo cavalier king Charles spaniel named Jacob. We have had them through our family most of my life and they are the perfect family dog,although I have never hadone this young. Yesterday was his first day away from his litter and mum and he cried an awful lot. I could only get him to sleep by putting him in a makeshift sling. We have made a pen in the living area and I take him out to the grass every time he cries or wakes up from a sleep and use the words "do wees" and he does. Unfortunately even after using a massive stuffed toy, wheatbags and clock he cried until he woke the kids up and I gave in and took him into our room and had him in a box of blankets next to my bed and was woken every two hours on the dot for pee breaks. What do I do to stop the crying?
