| Pee Pee Problem!!! Ok. So we thought our Emma was doing so wonderfully at her house breaking, after all she is not quite 7 months and no accidents for a couple of weeks. Well, one day on one of my cleaning benges, I decided to throw out a small throw rug that was holding my exercise machine in place on our tile floors. You know, that exercise thing that I never use?! Any way that rug had been heavily used as a piddle pad. I got rid of that nasty thing and she started peepeeing on my furniture. What do I do? We let her out and she knows if she barks at the door she gets to go out and if she barks she gets to come back in. But what she does in the mean time, who knows... obviously not peepeeing! |

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Hmmm, it probably depends on what result you want. I would think you could solve it pretty quickly by training her to go on pee pads where the rug was. But if you want her to go outside exclusively, you'll probably have to start from scratch and limit her freedom in the house. Take her outside at regular intervals after feedings and reward her for successes. I had the same problem with a chihuahua a few years back. I never solved it!

| I think I would start from scratch again love. i.e rewarding her when she goes in the right place. I don't think they can be fully relied upon until at least 12 months. Good luck my friend. Hugs Shirl x x |

| I had a dog that did the same thing, and had to start watching her when she went outside to make sure she went potty. If you want her to go outside you might have to watch and make sure she goes. |

| I agree - you'll need to start over with potty training, limit her freedom in the house and go outside with her to make sure she does the deed - then reward. Good luck!
