| HELP! 6 y/o potty trained female marking or misbehaving? My eldest (Cali) is 6 years old and very well potty trained on pads. She even trained my 4 y/o (Mia) for me! However, lately she has been pee'ing next to a plant that I have in the living room and one of the doggie beds in her room. It is usually in these same spots. We use Simple Solutions to clean so that no smell is left for the dogs. But she always goes back to these spots regardless. Both my babies are spayed and Cali definitely does NOT have a UTI as we had her checked by her vet. We don't let them have free reign of the house (they have their own room) and when they are out, we watch them. Although, there are times we can't see them, obviously. I just don't know why she is doing this NOW....after 6 years! And, how do I stop it? Thanks for any assistance! |

| Have you had anything unusual going on, like guests in the house or travel? Changes of any kind? Be sure to give praise for correct potty habits. When she goes potty where she is supposed to, praise profusely and give a small treat (I use kibble). Never stop giving praise. I would also limit her freedom until her habits improve. Keep her in the same room with you. Essentially start over with potty training if it continues. You may also want to try another cleaner. Could be that you are not getting the scent out of the spots. Try Nature's Miracle and a carpet cleaning machine.

| Hi Maximo Thanks for your response. I suppose I can try that. Maybe she misses me making a big deal when she goes potty. |
