I have a 9-mo old puppy who we are pad training...my husband and I work the same shift so she's home alone for 9 hours a day, and she's little (teacup yorkie-maltese mix) so we want her to be inside-trained. She was doing really well, and all of a sudden she's not using her pads or her litterbox as much...she's running behind furniture to pee. We've tried putting the pads where she's been having accidents (we find them via handheld blacklight), and she just pees right next to them. We change the pads often-after only being used once or twice, and when we see her potty on the pad she gets lots of praise...but we're still having accidents! We've tried taking her outside often to see if she'll wet there, but she refuses. And it's not like she's a bad puppy either, she's very smart and friendly, knows her tricks and commands, very well behaved. We don't ever catch her in the act, so scolding won't work...I'm at my wits end, my puppy is destroying our brand new carpet! I need help!
