Too late to crate her? Sweet Pea is queen of the house and she knows it. From day one she slept in the bed with my daughter. We tried to crate her the 1st night she got here, but she whined, cried and the whole crate was "jumping" off the floor (with her in it) so my daughter gave in and put her in bed with her. We have been pee pad training her from day one, and i'm lucky (unlucky) enough to be at home everyday so i thought she was potty trained as she went on the pad for over 4wks with no accidents. We used a small tiled room that was gated and i or my daughter were there with her all the time, then gave her more space as she continued to use her pee pads. Now almost 1year later Sweet Pea is on my bed and she peed on it, she looked right at me as she did it.....gggrrrrrr...she did the same on my daughter's bed 2 wks ago. There are steps up against my bed and my daughter's bed so Sweet Pea can climb up onto our beds as she wants to. We have pee pads on the floor in both rooms. We have a pet gate set up so Sweet Pea can only go into my room or my daughter's room so she doesn't have control over the whole house. We don't leave her in our rooms when we aren't in there with her. We take her out for walks around the block almost everyday. I don't know what to do. I told her "bad girl" and took away my steps for a full day so she can't climb up in my bed and i did the same to my daughter's bed. All yesterday she went on her pee pads. So today i let her come back up to my bed. What is going on with her, other than being spoiled?? She is a little over 1yr old should i start crating her to get her to potty trained again? Or should i go back to "square" one and keep her in a small tiled room with pee pads and watch her 24/7??? Thank You,
