My previous Dog Bailey was 9 years old and was still having accidents even though we took him outside to do his business. I'm not sure if it was a territorial thing because we never had him neutered because of his small size. When we left him alone to go to work, we would gate off our bathroom and put him in there and he would be fine, hardly any accidents, but when he had free reign of the house, he would go often. Now with our new female dog Bella, we gate off an area for her in the kitchen and leave paper down and for the most part she uses it. We are training her to go outside and she is getting it slowly. Some days are better than others. Even when we are home she still has accidents. Shes only 5 months. It take patience and time |
