hi,
i have a 4 year old female beagle named penelope. i love her dearly and she is as sweet as can be, but lately, she is driving me bonkers! i recently moved into an apartment with no yard or balcony and i work and go to school. previously, she has always lived in a house with a yard. she does spend about 8 hours alone during the day, but i also walk her 3 times a day and take her to the dog park. we spend time playing together and she sleeps in my bed at night. so i cannot for the life of me figure out why she is pooping and peeing in my room! its happened a few times in a week and i am getting pretty frustrated.
i know she knows where and when to potty. in fact if we are out on a walk and i tell her to go potty, she will sniff around, find a suitable spot and go! i really need some advice on this, what can i do to keep this from happening? i have the baby gate set up to keep her in the kitchen for a few days anyways, because i cannot keep coming home to a mess everyday. but how can i get this to stop without locking her up all the time? i know she doesn`t like to be confined behind the gate, so i don`t want to do that everyday to her. does anyone have any insight on how to repotty train an adult dog, or is there some other issue i need to be considering, like shes not getting enough attention or, she is still a little stressed over the move? i dunno, just please help!
