| What Is the Deal?! I NEED ADVICE Ok, I must have bragged way too much. Lilly has always been really good about using her potty pad . Usually TOO good. She would pee a little here and there ALWAYS ON THE PAD THOUGH every 10 minutes just so she could get a treat . She had it down pat. She'd look at me, then my bf, then she'd walk to the pad, squat, pee or force pee then look back at us waiting for a treat. Great! Until now. For the past several days she hasn't used her potty pad but ONCE . I have cleaned up so much pee I could scream. Then today! She pees on my flippin' couch! I was sooo upset. I told her "NO!" "BAD GIRL " and she was gated in the bathroom with the door shut for around a hour. Before when she would pee I would tell her "NO!" "BAD BAD GIRL!" and ignore her for about 5 minutes. Bad thing about it is SHE KNEW she was doing wrong! She knew it! I know this because she would pee, smell it then see me getting up to scold her and she'd run upstairs to hide from me. I've even tried telling her no, bad girl and then setting her on her pee pad and patting on the pad and telling her "THIS IS A GOOD GIRL!!!!!" I'm looking for any advice anyone can give me , it's getting out of hand and I've transferred way too many rags into pee rags over the past few days. I feel like everything I've taught her as far as potty training has went out the window. It upsets me so much that she knows where she's supposed to potty but she isn't doing it.

| She does not know she was wrong. She does know that you were upset at something. The only time they will connect you getting angry and her having an accident is if you catch her midstream. Otherwise you are too late already. How long was she using the pads consistently? Maybe you relaxed in your training or gave her too much freedom the last week or so? |

| Sounds the same....... I'm not sure that I can give you advice, but I surely will return to this thread to find out if there is anyone out there who has the answer!!! I just posted in another thread kinda about the same thing. My Neko was adopted, we got him at 5 years old. I can tell that he was potty trained, his paper work said so, but that he had accidents in the house 2-3 times a week. He sleeps and when we aren't playing with him, in his crate. We've had him for almost 2 months and still can't trust him to run over the house unattented! If you take him outside, he will go outside. If you don't, he will go where ever he walks!! He has days where he will jump on us and when we stand, he heads for the back door and jumps on it, once the door opens, off into the grass and he's doing his business! So I "KNOW" he "KNOWS" where he is supose to go. He's been doing that since we got him! Then he has his days where he will just stand in the floor and do it. (He always "coward" and won't move when you call him when he has done it in the house). I know he knows better, but what do I do??????? I feel sorry for him being in the crate day in and out, but our carpets are causing us to consider taking him back to the Humane Society!

She'll be 2 in July and she's been consistently using the pads since she was around 7 months old. She would have an accident maybe like once in a month but that was it. I haven't changed anything, everything has been going the same. Her pads stay in the same spot and when she peed on the floor the first time, I got onto her just like I would if she had peed on the carpet before.

Thor's Human Donating Member | Is it possible she has a UTI? I think something very subtle probably changed that might not occur to you right away. In any case, if it's not a physical problem, I would just go back to potty 101. Keep her crated for a few days, then give her access to one room, then two rooms, etc. It will probably go quickly since she knows the drill. I agree with westieboy about what she "knows" is wrong. Strangely enough, a dog can know that pee on the floor upsets their owner, but not associate that with the act of peeing. I don't suggest you try this, but if YOU peed on the floor, she would probably run away from that as well.

| I didn't think there was, she hasn't really had any signs of anything out of the ordinary besides her peeing where she pleases. Yes, I thoroughly clean every spot, it grosses me out so much.

I don't think she has a UTI though, I need to look up the symptoms. She doesn't pee all the time, it's just like when she has to go - she makes no priority to make it on the pad, she just pees wherever she's standing. She could be playing and then just pop a squat and piss then go back to playing. She doesn't even try to go to a different room to pee. We can be watching TV and look over and she'll just pee right in front of us. Today, she peed right in front of my boyfriend's foot.

He will jump on us and then lead us to the door, jumping on it..Then outside in the grass to pee. Once he's done, he will jump on the door to go back inside. He will do this for about 3-4 days in a row and then you will see him just stand in the floor, pee and then coward! Not sure how much more crate training or misunderstanding I can take. And yes, we "ALWAYS" clean up "VERY" well behind an accident. He almost never goes in the same place he did before anyway. Or so soon he will have to start repeating!!

| LOL.....I would really be "greatful" if you could explain that a little more? Left Intact for awhile? Take them outside and take "it" off? I don't think you are talking about what I'm thinking, so before I make a fool of myself (LOL) I will just let you explain it alittle more for me...

Thor's Human Donating Member | If he was just neutered, that will definitely throw him off. I hate to tell you this, but it can take up to a year to fully potty train a yorkie. Please do not take him back just for potty problems. He just needs some patience. yorkie_mama was describing what's called a "belly band". A number of YT members sell them. It fastens around the middle, and you put a panty liner inside, I believe. For many dogs, the sensation of having a wet belly is unpleasant enough that they will hold it when they are wearing one. On the other hand, some dogs may pee anyway. I would definitely keep at the training before resorting to belly bands.
