Need to retrain housetraining ?? Need advice.
Hi
I have a 13 month old JRT x Shih Tzu and had no problems toilet training her as a puppy. She goes through the night clean too (I have a 2 yrs old JRT x Whippet too).
In the past three weeks she has started weeing in the house - particularly, if she can get to it, my bed. She still pees outside in the garden (they have a dog flap) and on walks and this is perhaps only every other day. She knows she has done wrong and I only have to spot the stain and she skulks off to her bed. They have a puppy pad/newspaper in the corner of their "bedroom" anyway in case she gets caught short in the night but she doesn't use it (even though this is the method we trained her with)
I don't know if it's deliberate or she's regressing. Could a bladder infection cause it ? There are no other health problems. I can't catch her actually doing it either. I will take her to the vets if anyone thinks it could be an infection ..........
Help !! I'm going to stay with relatives over Xmas and can't risk her peeing on other people's carpets !!
Thanks
Mandi
