I have a little Yorkie female who will be one at the end of this month. We bought her when she was two months old and have been trying to house train her from the very beginning. She was making really great progress for quite some time. She would go several days without any accidents inside our apartment. But recently (the last month or so), she's gotten really bad about going to the bathroom outside. She rarely signals to us that she needs to go outside and will instead just go on the floor without warning. She seems to have preferred spots in the house of where she'll pee or poop. And today she actually peed on our bed. That is something that has NEVER happened, and I am in total shock that she did it at all.
We respond for her requests to be taken outside (when she gives them), I try to make sure to take her out every few hours, and we give her a treat and praise her when she goes outside. But lately, we'll take her outside, go on a walk, and she'll refuse to do anything outside, and once we get inside, she'll go on the floor instead. We're at a loss as to what to do. Why is she regressing so much and not even trying to go outside anymore?
Any help and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
