Ok this is a little weird and I dont really understand why she does it. My 4 mo old is pretty much potty trained. Ive had her about 3 wks now and she for the most part will go to her litter box to pee and poop on a regular basis. She was going each and everyday even in the middle of the night on her own for about a week. Then all of a sudden its one day yes and one day no.

All of a sudden she started to pee or poop where ever and will just forget about the box entirely. So I would take her to her accident shake the collar a bit and tell her no, then I would take her to her box, then to the crate for a 10 min timeout. Once let out from the time out she is great very sweet, passive and goes to litter box till maybe the next day she will have accidents again. I then do the timeout thing all over again. She will spent lets say one day with constant timeouts and then the next day be sweet as pie and going to the box each and everytime. I dont get it. Obviously she knows she is getting punished for making the accidents because her attitude completely changes afterwards but why she continues to do them if not reminded each and everyday is beyond me.

Im stumped
