I have fallen in love with him but can't keep putting of with my female doing this? Will this continue? |
If you go to the training forum, there are abundant threads about pottying/housebreaking challenges
From the main screen that shows up, just look down the page until you see that forum.
I'm not sure if she is jealous of the new pooch, but her routine has been given a good shake up with the new boy. Are they both outdoor/indoor trained? If so, have you changed their walking schedule at all?
In the meantime, what-ever the answers it sounds like she needs close supervision; so pull out her play pen or big xpen, and when you can't supervise her, in she goes, with an area to potty in, and a separate area to nap in. Also no bed priviledges until her pottying is back to normal. Also you need an enzymatic cleaner to soak sheets, blankets, and mattress cover in, to entirely take out the smell. I don't envy you, it is a pain in the patouche!. I have a cat sometimes that behaves badly, and it is absolutely no fun to wash all that stuff out.
