My 8 month old yorkie (first dog) wasn't easy to toilet train. I got her at 3 months, and at about 4 months we had her trained to not go in the house (both #1 and #2).

We kept a vigilant eye on her and every time she peed in the house scolded her, and whenever she went outside we praised and gave her a treat. Somehow, seemingly overnight, it clicked in her head that she can't go inside and only ever went outside (left the door open, the dog can go in/out as she pleases -- our house is fenced off). We didn't have any accident for over 2 months. ZERO accidents.

But now suddenly she has lost all her toilet training. She pees in the house constantly. It started on the weekend, and just toys morning she's done it twice. I used to be able to leave her and work in my home office all day, but I can't do that anymore for fear that she may soil the carpet.

There have been no changes to her diet or environment.

What gives?
