I have a 5 year old yorkie named Daisy and we have had her since she was a few months old. My sisters and I had trained her to use a pee pad inside a designated area of the house when we are not available to take her outside, we don't mind mind, as well as to signal for when we are at home to take her outside. She was perfectly potty trained for a few months and then we got her a sister, Oreo, a shih tzu. We trained her as well and they were potty trained for a few months when........
Daisy started to have accidents at night on the lining of the tile and carpet. My parents got frustrated when it continued so we put up this gate.
My dad and I hate this gate and after 3/3.5 years we have taken it down. I have cleaned the area with vinegar and baking soda on multiple occasions and she doesn't have any accidents during the day, gate or no gate, they go on the pad or tell us when they want to go out and we take them out. They get to go out first thing in the morning, multiple times during the day, both times when they are fed, and once late at night right before bed. Oreo, the shih tzu never ever has accidents but our Daisy does in the middle of the night.
Help please!
Sorry for this post being so long and possibly confusing. Words are not my strength. Thank you in advance for any help!
