New Puppy - Toilet Training, Please Help, I'm so tired!

[Sky57]

There is no meaning to the name, I just liked the sound of it
It must be ok, because everyone likes it and our family finds it hard to agree on names LOL

The breeder gave me some toilet training pads and Jindi does use those when in her pen.

I was surprised today because I took her for a walk and took her for serveral pees out the back. When we came back inside, I needed to get changed, put make up on etc etc. So instead of putting her in the pen I tied her long leash to the nearest door handle. This allows her to play with the cats and the other dog, but at the same time she is restricted to an area I can see.

Well I was so surpised. Remember that I took her out for a pee just before...about 20 minutes before. Well she a pee on the carpet just outside the bathroom. I wondered how that happened when I had taken her outside to prevent that (and she did do a pee when we went outside). So I cleaned that up and thought there couldn't be more pee coming.

I was wrong - there was more....she peed another three times on carpet over the next 30 minutes. I am really surprised and disappointed. I didn't tell her off. I just cleaned it up. She is so quick I didn't even see her do them!

Can anyone shed any light as to why this happened and what I can do to make it not happen? I thought we were doing so well. After a week, she knows when I am going to take her outside for a toilet break and she leads the way. I thought it was going well.

Yikes Well, it is expectted, you will have a few set backs in her training.

Maybe she is peeing so much because of a health problem, not a behaviourial problem?

You said you have another dog right.
Did the other dog have any accidents in the house before maybe she smells them. even if you've cleaned them with any cleaner animals have a way of picking up on the smell.

We had the carpets professionally cleaned before she came to us. She is peeing alot. I think what I will do is keep a very good record of what she does and when. She peed in her crate tonight too....only 2 hours after she peed out the back! I think I have given her too much room in the crate and will try making it a touch smaller with the divider. I'm keeping a medical problem in the back of my mind....but I think its unlikely. Its not easy trying to get all this right. I think I was much better when my son was born. At least you can put a nappy on a baby!

Sorry to hear that she's having more accidents in the house.

What you are doing sounds good, limiting her space again.
If it does not get better in a couple days I'd get a urine sample to the vet just to be safe. She may have a UTI (urinary tract infection or the like).

Good luck!
