Poodle wrangler Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Since coming back from a 5 month trip away, Oscar-9 year old desexed male mini poodle- has decided it's OK to pee indoors. He normally stands by the back door when wants to go out. This morning, Charlie - 3 year old desexed male standard poodle- both pee and poo inside. He'd been let outside for 1/2 hour at ~10PM last night and this was b4 7AM. No more!! I've been letting them out every 2-3 hours, but not checking they've done something. Have crated Oscar at night. Thought about a dog door, but wanted some advice b4 spending $400-ish on something like the Pig in Mud one. Still have the crate. When away, they slept happily together in XL crate, though I saw Oscar pee a couple of times in the corner of that. Should I go back to crating both overnight? Go back to basic toilet training? Dog door for when I forget to let them out? All of the above? Would have them sleep outside but bit cold in Canberra. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Welcome back. Go back to basic toilet training with him PW. I highly recommend a dog door though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Sounds as if teh dogs have regressed ,maybe due to you being away? Who was looking after them? I also recommend going back to basics. They need calm and consistent housetraining again. They are not evil- just a bit confused and needing your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniejac Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 We Put a Doggy door in and it was the best thing we ever did. I can go out knowing that my two Staffies can come and go as they want, and never have any accidents inside. I would highly recommend them.

Poodle wrangler Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 (edited) Thankyou! Crating at night is working and I'll get a door when I save the $. Don't worry, I don't really think they're evil: Should have added a The poodles came with us on the trip around Australia! Only used kennels a couple of times for 3-4 days for National Parks. Plenty of people said we were mad, but I'm really glad they came. eta: Oscar's hiding out in the back, but spent most of the time in the backseat btwn 2 kids.

persephone Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Oh- if the dogs have been travelling with you- then it's not surprising they have regressed . Gorgeous photo!! Glad things are on the improve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
