Hi all, I need advice! I just moved from the East Coast over to the West Coast, so a fairly big move. My 11 month old pug/poodle came along (by plane). It's been just a week, and she hasn't been eating and has been sleeping a lot...which I expected, but the last 2 nights she's been pooing in the house - something she hasn't done since the original house training.

I know it's just moving stress related, but how should I correct it, so that it doesn't become a habit, or accepted? I was thinking of crating her for bed?

Thanks in advance!

Crating her would be a good idea she will see it as somewhere safe in a new enviroment that is all hers . I dont imagine she is quite settled in yet and sometimes it can take a while to get them back to normal after such a big move , new sights and sounds , and smells all very confussing for a little one . Think of time difference to from east to west coast she may still be setting her internal body clock hence sleeping a lot , I bet the warmer weather will do her good . In the mean time dont worry too much try not to scold her for having an accident in the house just clear it up and put her in the yard . she will soon be ok im sure .

Thanks! I'll crate tonight and see...although I will miss her snuggling in bed

She's been chosing the crate as her nap place anyway.

You could always put the crate in your room if you think she will be bothered by not being with you !!
