Hi, I have a gorgeous little shi tzu who up until recently has been house trained and toilet trained, but in this last week has had numerous daily 'accidents' and its driving me crazy! He's had a couple of poos inside (which he does in secret, and always the same spot) and multiple pees each day (not in hiding, and not in the same spot, often right in front of us...) He is taken out the back often, and still asks to go out too. Is there anything I can do at all to stop this? I'm taking it right back to the beginning with him and highly rewarding the outside business, interrupting any time I see him about to go inside, and he's now getting a row when he does it (or attempts to) inside too, so he knows he's doing wrong...
My trainer says he has too much freedom in the house, hence the marking, but I really don't want to have to crate him through the day when we're home if there's another alternative, so wondered if anyone had any suggestions for me to try?
Thank you!
