Dropbear Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Our 11 month old sheltie, Bella, came into the house this morning and straight away did No. 2s on the carpet. We caught her in the act and put her outside in 'time out' for 10 mins. When we let her back in she went to a different spot on the carpet and did it again!! She hasn't done this since she was about 10 weeks old, so I've no idea what has caused her to revert. Any ideas on how I can fix this before it gets any worse? We have house guests coming to stay over Easter and I would really rather not have dog poos happening in the house during that time!! PS: I put this in the puppy section because it's a puppy training problem - but maybe it should have been in the training section. Oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I'd go back to the very start...eg taking her out every hour or two and giving her a 'toilet word'. Take her out after sleeping, eating, drinking etc etc...just take it back to the start and go slowly and ignore her failures and praise her when she gets it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InspectorRex Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Is she desexed? if she isn't some grils revert to "puppy" habits when on their way into season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
