| This thread really helps alot. My pup, Cookie has the exact same problem. She was doing so well for 2 weeks peeing most of the time on her pads.. but now she has been going everywhere lately. I have a little area blocked off for her own living/sleeping space and when she sleeps there at night, she'll poo and pee on the pads in the right area. But in the mornings when I let her run around the house freely, she seems to go anywhere she likes. Now she barely goes on the pad at all and its frusterating me! I have just started crate training her again but not sure how to exactly do so. Should I just lock her up in there everytime she goes in the wrong area? |

| I don't know if this helps or not but Xavier had been doing really great with his pad training UNTIL we used a different brand of pads. He would only poo on the new pads and decided to start peeing all over the carpet. I couldn't figure out what happened at first and now since we've been using the same old pads he has only had maybe 4 accidents !

When I crate, it's easy to make sure pottying is the first thing that they have to do. Because they've been holding it, they do have to go. So they get out of the crate (I put on a leash even when pottying inside on pads just for the control), go potty, have a big party, get a great treat, THEN free play time. But Coby didn't get any free play time until he pottied in the morning. And remember, that crating isn't punishment. Crating is training. Use the crate and supervision to AVOID any accidents. Make it as difficult for Cookie to fail as possible. Structure everything so that Cookie never has much chance to make a mistake. Good Luck!

| Thank you SO much. That helps alot... The area that I block off for her own living space... she usually never goes potty in the middle of the night anymore. Usually by 2pm the next day, she is still sleeping and haven't even pottied yet! Yesterday I woke up and put her on the pad right when she woke up and she peed and pood on the pad I find that she always goes in the right area when it's in her little living space I made out for her. When I let her run freely around the house all day.... She goes anywhere she likes! |

| I am glad that Lola isnt the only one who regressed. My husband is running out of patience with her though and wants to sell her. i am determined to get her trained though. i think i will let him read this so he knows shes not the only one. she mad him really mad the other day, she peed on the floor so we put her in her kennel and left her there for about 2 hours. and we let her out and put her on her pad and i make her stay there till she goes. she went, i let her off. she went to play with my daughter came back to give my husband kisses and peed by his foot! she pees outside sometimes, mostly on my floor. i have peed pads everywhere!

| A puppy is alot of responsibility. It only takes time and patience! Don't give her up just yet! There have been alot of times when I felt that she wasn't learning and I became very frusterated but a puppy is alot of work. Even some at the age of 8 or 9 months aren't fully toilet trained yet. Mine is about 4 months and she goes on the pad whenever she wants to... Last night my boyfriend came home and found a dried up pee spot from a few hours ago and it had dried up on our carpet.... not a good thing! But consistency will only help. My friend suggested just sectioning off a small area for the puppy to live/play/sleep/potty. They learn better when the area is small. When she starts to catch on the idea of going in the same area everytime... slowly start and give her more space in her area. I let my pup run freely around the house and it is so much space she never knows where to go! But when she's in her little confined play area.. she ALWAYS goes in the right area. Give it time! and good luck! |
