Encouragement for potty training fail

She never wanted to use a pee pad even though did at the breeders. I have so many extras to give you!

someone asked how old my kids are, just turned 9,12, 14. old enough to trust. They are very involved in all dog care and responsible - especially the older two.
Rather obsessed with their dogs. that said they usually handle the potty breaks while i am teaching
From home (virtual so not fun) if they want to take her out on their breaks. When free to play it is easier to be distracted or miss signs so she is being penned more unless i am able to have eyes on her not just be in the room.

yes we have a designated small area plus we take her on leash. She goes quickly.

it has been better the last two days. More crate training during school or pen after - not whole kitchen that was a one time fail. if she is running we take her out immediately. She calms well but I guess her overstimulated manifests as bladder control.

Some of this regression has to be a stage. She has regressed in a couple other things the last few days too (shhh command and jumping up) but grown in other areas (drop command and leave it, and wait for her food in a sit for 3-5 seconds before I release this shark). All of which is huge for one so food motivated. I will treat for a bit. That is speaking her language. Maybe at this age she will make the connection better than before.

I just hope smells in carpet aren’t adding to problem. I do have enzymatic spray and shampooer. Carpet is overdo for changing so post covid we will be replacing it finally. She will be potty trained by next summer!

 

Well this time around she is certainly connecting pee and get a treat. When i forgot once, she ran in and to the closet where i keep her food. Lol

today she has yipped to go out several times and started standing on her hind feet to look out the window to tell me again! . (I swear a full length glass door is a huge advantage- I miss it). Then today shortly after I took her out, my daughter held her in her lap, she was relaxed and cuddly. When my daughter got up, i realized she peed on the chair while held. Never stood or squatted, never happened before. Never in a crate before either. It was the weirdest thing. My daughter didn’t get wet. She peed alot for me and I had just gotten her up from naptime when she yipped to go out from her crate. She just had shots on friday. Had alot of activity with four visiting neices/ nephews so maybe more tired. It makes me a little concerned she can’t hold it sometimes or that something is wrong. She seems very well otherwise. No strong smell or color. She Goes all night no accident. She is the most interactive delightful little pup and I am smitten with her.
