I'm in a very similar boat with one of my two yorkies. They're both 18 months old, but I got Coco when she was a year. I was told she's housebroken and she's NOT. My other dog, Zoe, is completely housebroken. Coco never pees in the house when I'm out, but when I'm home, she pees in the same spots (my dining room and my bedroom). I take them both out every two or three hours whenever I'm home, and Coco still has accidents sometimes. The only thing I can suggest, which worked for me for a while, was that I was told to scatter their food on the floor in places she likes to go. Supposedly they don't like to pee where they eat. It worked for a while, but now it doesn't work as well. I'm at my wits end. I don't have a choice but to be patient and consistent. I praise her and give her a treat everytime she goes outside. |
