Wallee was doing so well. We were managing to get through the days with him asking to go outside or using his pee pads. The weather has been cold and now wet so we are down to one short walk a day. Yesterday I caught him starting to pee on the carpet and ushered him quickly outside. Today we went for our walk and he did his business. We went out and left him for a couple hours (with a pee pad which he doesn't seem to use while we are out) and he was fine. He knows the drill and goes immediately to the door when we come in to go to the bathroom.
A couple hours later he was acting restless, doing the "I need the bathroom" sniff around the room. I immediately took him outside and stood with him for at least 15 minutes. Since it has been raining, the grass is muddy again so all he did was root his nose in the mud the whole time. He ran to the door to go back in. I stepped away long enough to go to the bathroom myself and came back out to find he peed and pooed on the carpet. UGGGH.... Thank God I bought more enzyme cleaner today.
Also he sleeps in a crate in my room at night. When he was younger, he always slept until 5 am. I always take him out and make sure he pees before bed. Lately he has been waking me up between 3:30 and 4:30 am to pee and poo.
Wow..... So very frustrating.
