I have had many breeds of dogs over the last 2o sum yrs..and I realize puppies have accidents and I am not new at housetraing a puppy..What I am talking about is the bad habit of Marking territories. Alot of it is intinct and sometimes it is just behavioral. There just seems to be an issue with this breed. Don't get me wrong I love the breed..and I know this can happen with a lot of breeds or toy dogs I just don't want to be cleaning up after a 5 yr old dog that just refuses to go in the proper place. I am just suprised at the amount of responses to this thread about their dogs backslidng I was hoping it would be less. I will think seriously about it though
