I have caught her going pee-pee on her way out the door, and sometimes right after I took her out within a short period of time. During these occasions I thought it was because she went out to pee and squated like she was going and got distracted being nosy and never finished going, so once i bought her back inside and she relaxed that's when she went. As I said she is pretty much a good girl because this behavior is something that has just started since we moved to this new house. I haven't had any of these problems in weeks at the old house, so I figure she's trying to get adjusted and hopefully not marking this new house.. The dog walker will be starting on Monday because she doesn't start on short notice so that's not too bad.
Oh yeah I never bullied my shitzhu he was very easy to dicipline and he was no problem at all, well except pulling things all over the house..LOL . I have an appt. schedled for her with her vet for the UTI and hopefully with the new dog walker comming by at noon she will be alright from now on. Whatchu think//??/ |
I think having a dog walker come by mid-day will really help you tremendously with housetraining etc. I'm glad you're getting her checked out for that UTI. When puppies eliminate in the house, it generally IS the owner at fault because we weren't watching closely. The fact that she has a UTI could be attributed to her having to hold it for so long for her little bladder. I'm really glad you're taking the advice - it will make your life and your puppy's much easier.
Please also stop "popping" her. There's no reason for that. Puppies need POSITIVE reinforcement as you are seeing now, your girl doesn't want to come to you because you "pop" her. Try using positive methods to get her to listen to you.
