house training, getting worse!!

[timefortiggy]

We have a seven month old shitzu, i thought we were almost there with only the odd wee accident now the last few days she is pooing and peeing the floor loads. Its the school hols so shes never left more than a couple of hours, she gets walked loads and my back door is always open!! Help

NOOOOOOOO!! We have a 12 - 13 week old Shih Tzu pup, and you are not allowed to tell me that it doesn't get better anytime soon!! ;)

He he, sorry dieu, it was getting better now much worse. She is amazing though regardless

First port of call should be the vet to check for a UTI if this has started out of the blue.

We are due a vet visit so perfect. She is pooing the floor aswell though.

back to basics training, take her with her to the garden, quietly reward her.

[SunshineAndShadows]

Are you still rewarding her for going outsider nd going with her? Or just expecting her to take herself off through the open back door?

Do you have kids at home for the holidays and is inside the housd now much more interesting? Is she getting more of a reaction for going indoors? You need to clean it away quietly with no fuss. Use a biological laundry detergent to eliminate smells

[timefortiggy]

Yes sunshine kids are in!! Back to start we go

[SunshineAndShadows]

Fraid so - lots of praise for outside and take her out yourself - door open is not enough when there's fun stuff happening indoors

[timefortiggy]

She gets taken out walks loads too. Going back to big rewards when she goes
