Hi all,

Around 6/7 weeks ago i took my bichon frise (tilly) from my mum and dad. my mum had/has 2 bichons, but due to ill health was struggling with the 2 of them, so i agreed to take car of one.

the first few nights there were a few puddles of piddle in the morning, but thought it woud be because of the move, and unfamiliar surroundings etc. however it still happens on a regular basis. we kick her out regularly, but she just seems to spend her time outside peering in through the door.

we have used fouling discouraging spray from pets at home, which has helped by limiting where she fouls, but doesnt seem to cure the problem.

she is generally well behaved through the day, so thats not an issue.

another problem is over the last few days if she hasn't been getting her own way (put outside, left in another room, not on the sofa etc) shes been whining and some times howling - i didnt know a small dog could make such a noise!!! Any ideas?!?!

I'm really getting to the end of my tether!!! Thanks

Simon
