| potty training gone wrong..... Help! I am a long time dog owner and have gone to a lot of dog obedience training, read a lot of books but I can't figure this one out. she is 9 mo old and we have trained her to use the rascal litter boxes. Things were going great. We did the crate thing for many months and transitioned her to being confined in the laundry room. Then allowed her access to one room plus the laundry room. This was fine for about five weeks, then she decided to start going on the carpet. We used the enzyme cleanse as well as shampooed the area well. She does perfect when we are home but was still going in the wrong area even when ẃe left for short times, so back to the laundry room during the day. Now she has started going on the floor in the laundry room. It appears to be one time only throughout the day. She can hold it a long time and I know she doesn't have an infection. I am heartbroken that I have to leave her in the laundry room all day. I work fairly far from home so crating her again would be VERY difficult. Any suggestions? BTW: I clean the litter boxes everyday so I don't think that is an issue. |

| We got Jess at about 10 months old and she did great at first then regressed. We went back to square one. I think you have to limit even the laundry room space until she gets it. Cut the room in half with a gate. Bed pee pad and water area. Then slowly increase in small increments and see how she does. Make a big deal of the pad or litter box. I would also try either putting a little of her pee on the clean litter tray so the scent is there. |
