Why is my dog having potty-training relapse?
I have a 10 month old male shih-tzu named Bentley. He’s a great dog, and was housebroken by the age of 3 or 4 months. He relieves himself on a “potty pad” that stays on the screened-in back porch.
Just recently, he has started a problem that we consider very serious. Instead of going to the door so that we will let him out, he has decided that he can just *** on our couch or in the bed.
He is crate trained, so leaving him in his crate close to all the time isn’t a problem, but he’s been so good for so long that we can’t understand the relapse (and WHY he only desires to *** on the couch and in our bed).
He doesn’t sleep with us except for “special occassions” (usually when my husband is out of town), but why not just *** on the floor? We have a high bed, so it’s a big jump to make JUST to *** there. He’s done it several times in the past month or so, and the same goes for the couch as well.
Does anyone have any tips for our semi-relapsed pup?
