Can anyone help advise on how we can support our 18 month old Lhasa Apso cross with toileting?
I am literally at my wits end.
We have replaced our carpets in the house after rehoming her and her toileting in the house when we leave her to go out. We have tried all sorts:
Puppy pads
Crate
Free fun
Stair gates
She is walked regularly, we have a large garden where we leave the door open for her to access outside as much as we can. She could do the toilet as soon as we leave even if she has been outside all day and toilettes not long before. I think it's separation anxiety.
I always leave a pad out in case and the majority of the time she will use it but the excitement of hearing us coming through the door or possible whining waiting on us means she pees at the door. Every time I come home she is drenched in urine. I am showering her 2-3 times a day which is a big stress for both of us.
Please help with advice and not criticism. We love her and really want to tackle this but it is causing a lot of stress.
FYI - even with the door open the other day, she took it upon herself to come inside and go upstairs and poo!
What can I do? I luckily have been off this week but it still hasn't been tackled because as soon as I leave the house the accidents happen. I am back to work next week and I am stressed about it already.
