Whoa! they were so excited about being in a different part of the house and love to romp and play. But when they discovered that they could go up and down the stairs to the second level, they decided to start pottying up there. Is this due to the fact that they think that it's new living quarters? I still keep them barracaded down stairs at night but as soon as I get up, they want to get past the barracade and romp around the rest of the house. Can anyone out there offer some suggestions on how I can control them?

Also, when should I think about getting them spayed and neurtered?
I had a similar experience with Tootsie~she is 5 months old and very well potty trained..My fiance travels alot for work and last week when he left to go out of town she decided to start going potty inside!!!
We started puppy training classes 3 weeks ago and our trainer told me that is because of a change in her environment ( everyday schedule)??? Needless to say since he has been back home last friday~she has not gone potty in the house once!!

On the spayed and neurtered~I would not know, but there alot of very knowledable people on YT that I am sure would be willing to help~best of luck with your little ones!!!
