What to do....

[Frzframe]

Mitzi was doing pretty good on potty training in fact we were going weeks with out an accident in the house but the last week she has been awful. In fact to day she went 3 times in the house. <IMG SRC="http://dachsie.org/ubb/cwmsmilies/cwm4.gif" border=0> In the mornings she doesn't want to go out she runs and wont let us get her to put her out. She does this during the day also but it is worse first thing in the morning. She used to love to go for walks but she won't even let us put on her leash. What can we do to get through this. Do we need to go back to potty training 101? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully this is a temporary problem. Have you taken her to the vet and had her checked out, sometimes a lapse in potty manners can be traced back to an illness (bladder infection etc.) Also since you are saying that she does not want to go outside..could it be that the weaterh has changed drastically, (a lot colder, etc) or has she been frightened by somehting outsdie? You need to figure out the"why" of the behavior so you can star woking on "fixing"it.

If you will scroll back through this section you will find a lot of good suggestions for solving most of you potty problems.

Good luck and keep us updated.
