Hi all
So I’m wondering if anyone on here can offer me some advice. We have a puppy who is 4 months old. It took us a while to get him potty trained, but once he was able to go for walks, it sort of just clicked. The odd thing is that he very really does anything on walks, usually saves it until he gets home and then goes in the garden. He’s been perfect for weeks up until the last few days it’s as if he does it on purpose. He sleeps in the kitchen in his cage of a night and if he goes through the night, it’s always on the pad. Well the past few days, he keeps doing it whenever he is locked away in the kitchen, usually when we’re eating (as he is snatches food off your plate) or when we are cleaning up. But it’s been every time without fail. We started leaving the back door open whilst we do those things, but he still decided to do it all over the kitchen floor instead. When the door is open and he has free reign of the living room, he’s perfectly fine and is good as gold. He even sits by the back door an cries til we let him out for a wee normally. My partners at her whits end with him and I don’t know what to do.
Today we tried leaving the door open while we ate to see what he would do, he didn’t jump up at as while we ate so I was made up with him but then the minute I turned my back he peed on the couch, so then I locked him in the kitchen and he poo’d. Really dunno what to do, it’s like I give him the benefit of the doubt, he’ll prove himself in other aspects but then take a step back in others. Like I said, this is really odd behaviour for him as he’s been brilliant for weeks, up until the last few days.
