UGH! I am getting so frustrated. We have been getting really good at noticing our puppies potty cues, and they have been getting really good at going "on command" as well. Nearly perfect with pee and the pooping was coming along too. Generally though we would have a poop to pick up once daily or once every other day.
Until yesterday. I have no idea what has happened or if it is one dog or both dogs or what. I am beginning to think it is the boy dog. I am also loosing it and need some help. Starting last night I took them outside to go potty--they both went pee, one went poop. We praised, came in, got ready for bed and right before I put them in the crate I found some poop. I thought "dang, I should have waited longer for pup #2 to finish". Then, this morning within minutes of coming inside, someone (or both?) pooped in my room. DH took them out, then they came in my room--I was still in bed with a migraine. They often will lay on my robe in the early morning (between 5 and 6) while I finish sleeping. They don't do well going back to the crate after all night in it. But, until now, they have never had an accident during that hour because dh or I had just potted them.
I was irritated because the smell made the headache worse--I kinda blamed dh thinking maybe he was in a rush. I picked it up/cleaned put dogs outside and went back to bed. Since then we have had countless pee and poop accidents all day long! I have been home and they have been out regularly. They do this within minutes of bringing them in.
I am beginning to not respond well at all. I need to know if/what might be wrong. The dogs know that I am getting upset. It is really hard to be blaise about it now--it was going so well.
