| I Dont Know What to Do with Skoshi!!! please someone help me. im soo mad and i feel like crying. I dont know whats wrong with him. He was completely trained to go outside and now all he does and poop and pee in the same spot. I dont know why! Its sooo frustrating that he was fully trained and now he doesnt care and he knows where he is supposed to go because he goes to the door and thats where he has been peeing and pooping. I literally stand out side for 30mins to an hour and he wont go he will mark everything in site and sniff and sniff for a hour and wont do anything. but as soon as we go inside he will poop and pee in this very same spot. IM SO UPSET. hes almost 7months now and I even got to the point where i wouldnt give him treats until he pooped outside and thats not working. |

| We did the same thing with Tilly. We would have her stand outside and wait till she pottied. Sometimes we were out there forever! She would do the same thing, pee outside and always poo inside. Never figured it out either. We bought her treats and suprises when she did really good. Eventually she caught on. It did take months though. Hang in there....hopefully he will get back into his old routine.

| Honestly, he is still a puppy.. so you should expect accidents. How long do you take him outside? Would it help if you did it more often? Maybe you need to use a better cleaner to remove the smell in the area where he is using the bathroom.. he can probably still smell it so he continues to go there.

| make sure you are cleaning it with something that has an enzyme in it that will kill the bacteria. Wal-mart sells some GREAT stuff called "kids and pets" and it works wonders! its this stuff here... http://www.kidsnpetsbrand.com/hottouse.htm

| Don't be discouraged. My Yorkie, Frankie, is fixed and he still has a lot of accidents. It frustrated us for a while, but since doing research, we realize that this is common. Just be consistent with your training and give your Yorkie lots of rewards when he does the right thing. |

| no and no he doesnt mark in the house just outside. and its not that he will just do one or the other outside its not that. He will do both sometimes but he started getting where he would poop once a day and sometimes not even that and now if im lucky he will poop outside and pee but recently he has just been going in the house. i dont understand how he can just not understand now after it was taught to him. and its not something we stopped doing but its something that was constantly taught. |

| also he wont have any accidents while im at work just when we are home. and he gets that hes supposed to go to the door and had that down pact but now he goes to the door right from outside and does his duty. and i have got on here and gave tons of training advice on pottying. so i know its nothing but dedication because like i said he was fully trained maybe 1 accident every now and then. but this happened over a weekend and he totally just forgot everything. |

| Elizabeth, I am right there with ya..... Rusty does the SAME THING. Drives me crazy. We will go outside.... He will sit and watch Sophie go and get treats for going but he won't go.... we get inside and within 15 minutes or so he has peed &/or pood. AHHHHHHH. I just keep telling myself he is a boy... people say they are harder to train.

| also its funny but not funny in way i know when i walk into the kitchen (he does it right by the door leading into the garage by the washer and dryer) when he had done something because he will hide and put his ears down so i got right to that same spot and look and there it is and i say skoshi and he will peek lol. i mean im not mean to his i just make him smell it and i say this is bad skoshi you have to go outside. he knows what outside is when i say it because he runs to the door. |

| Does he have free run of the house now? If he does, you should probably revert back to fully supervising him, so you can catch him in the act. Good luck, I know its hard...
