Gizmos Mom · 12-29-2014, 08:45 AM

My 4 year old neutered Yorkie, Gizmo, is having accidents all the time in the house. He was trained to use wee pads (always kept in the same corner in our apartment) and also goes outside too.

Gizmo would have accidents from time to time in the house... but now, it seems he is out of control, just peeing whenever and wherever he wants. Accidents used to happen only when we were out at work, but now, they happen even when we are just in the other room. (no medical problems, he has just had his annual exam and is fit as a fiddle.)

We have a spot-bot to clean the accidents and use Nature's Remedy as well, to clean the stains and hopefully remove the urine.

I cannot control the urinating now, and my husband has given me an ultimatum: Fix the accidents, or get rid of Gizmo.

I am in a panic. How do I fix this? I am thinking he needs to start training from scratch again, and I should only keep him in the kitchen when we are not home or cannot keep a close eye on him. Gizmo will be terribly upset, as he is used to roaming freely about the apartment, but I think this will be the only way to fix our dilemma.

Has anyone else had to deal with this problem?

Has anyone had success re-training??

Any suggestions are appreciated. Please say a prayer that I can fix this and keep my darling boy!
