Hi Everyone,

I need some advice. I have adopted a 10 mouth old Yorkie. When she came to me, she was litter box trained. She had never been walked really because the lady who blessed my life with her was medically ill and couldn't take care of her. Anyway, it took me a week of consistent walking her outside and she finally learned to pee and poop outside. However she has started peeing in the house. It's only when we're home, as she is in the kitchen in her crate at work. She's only alone like three hours at a time and gets walked morning noon and night. Sometimes she'll use the litter box and then other times, she goes pee in the house. I'm beside myself with this.

Also she puts EVERYTHING in her mouth. Any ideas to break this habit? I had a Yorkie for 15 years and his peeing in the house was always an issue, but I wasn't consistent with him like I am with her. He NEVER put anything in his mouth. Any advice greatly appreciated.
