accidents

Hello, this is my first time posting. I desperately need any and all advice, I will try everything. My mother and I recently took in a new dog. The home he was at was a mess and the owner barely took care of him. He's real sweet and I love him already, but I have to work on his behavioral...

I adopted a Hound Mix about 8 months ago. She wasn't fully house trained, but learned quickly. She will go 6 weeks or so without an accident and then have one. She knows that she should go outside, and holds it all day when free in the house and I'm at work. Some of the accidents are...

So, I have 4 cats and 1 dog named Taco. Taco's main selling point has always been her tolerance of cats and her iron bladder. Those are the only two good behaviors she came to us having. If I'm being honest, Taco is the bane of my existence and I mean that in the most loving way possible. For...

Hello, I have 3 GSD's whom are all of different ages. I have an older female who is 9.5 years old, a young male who is 3.5 years and a new addition of a female pup (as a playmate and companion for my male) who is only 14 weeks. Everything has been fine with them, they all get along and my...

Hi, Everybody! Recently I've been running into some issues with my husky puppy and not sure what to do. She's 15 weeks old and a very smart girl so she learned to potty train pretty quickly. As of lately though, she purposely doesn't go on the pee pads when I'm with her. It's not that she...

We adopted a boxer/pitt this past July at 3 months, and housebreaking took about 2 weeks. She no longer goes to the bathroom in the house. Now, she's about 8 months old, and crate peeing is still a problem. We wake up with her between 6am and 7.30am, take her out for a walk where she goes to the...

On February 6, 2016 my husband and I brought home a 2 month old Goldendoodle. My husband and I both work full time and our schedule as it pertains to the puppy is as follows: 5:30 a.m. - Wake up, go outside, eat breakfast, go outside again. 6:30 a.m. - Go outside 7:00 a.m. - Go outside 8:00...

Hello. I am the proud owner of a 16 year old dog, Guava. He is a border collie/ lab mix, 65 lbs.. He turned 16 this February :) Guava's been having many accidents in the home since December 2015 – I often find him laying in his mess now. He’s severely arthritic and his vet felt that his...

We have a new King Charles Cav puppy (home for 4 days) and we have been doing our best to potty train her. She is being crate trained and is great in her crate at night and short periods throughout the day. We take her to her pee spot as soon as she wakes up or every hour, praise her and give...

Odin is my 9 week old Boston Terrier and seems to be having a really hard time understanding that he should relive himself on the pee-pads. My boyfriend and I live in an apartment and both work full-time. However, we both go home for an hour during our lunches and due the field I work in, I can...

Help! I have a 10 week old mix puppy (dachsund/bichon/cocker spaniel/lab). I've had him for about four weeks, since he was six weeks. The first week I kept him in a larger box, with bedding, puppy pad, and toys. He had only a couple of minor accidents. The following week I put him in a kennel...

Hi. We have a 13 week old whippet puppy, Truffles. We are training him to use pee pads in the guest bathroom for his business. The problem is that if he poops there and we don't pick it up within like 2 minutes, he decides to tear the puppy pad out of the shower and he pees like 2 feet away...

Thank you for taking the time to read my post, I am at the end of my rope. We have had our shih tzu charlie for 2 years and have always had issues with him going number 2 outside. He will literally hold it in while we are outside and run inside and go minutes after we walk through the door...

Hello. I have a 7 month old puppy my husband and I got from people who said they could no longer care for her. They told us she was pee-pad trained (I was thinking 7 months is a little old to still be using those?). I figured I would just keep moving them closer to the door and eventually put...

Hi there, My boyfriend and I have had my dog, a 40 lb pointer mix for about a year and a half now and she has never had many accidents up until recently. They only happen at night and she usually sleeps in bed with me and my boyfriend but has access to her crate if she wants it. We take her out...

I've been lurking around this forum for some time now. Before getting a puppy and since to familiarize myself with the potty training and house training. We just got a new puppy (Shih Tzu / Maltese mix) a week ago and have been potty training. So far he has had two accidents. Both times I...

My 8-year-old CoJack mix and I moved from a house with a doggie door to one without and has gone from completely housebroken to daily accidents. A few relevant details about the situation: The climate here is much colder than our old house across the country. We have been here 6 months with...

We adopted a seven-month-old lab mix in April. She was never really potty trained before we got her but was making great progress with us. Accidents were only occasional but always in the same spot. I put down a puppy pad in the spot. (My first dog is three years old and fully trained.) In...

Im not sure if this belongs in behavior or training.... The first 4 or 5 days Diva was going to the bathroom outside, although it was once a day. Then she started peeing in the house (which I didnt notice at first) but was pooping outside. Now she is peeing AND pooping in the house. Ive scaled...

Hi all- despite what I've heard about French Bulldog stubbornness, my little girl Lily (my first puppy) has been pretty good... but there is one issue that I need help with! She is almost 3 months and is now trained to go outside on the leash. She rarely has accidents on the floor, but once I...
