Hi,
We have a 16 week old bulldog puppy called Ralph who is proving to be very problematic with regards to his house training. We have taught him to go the front door when he needs the toilet, and prior to this past week he would come into the room, nudge one of us and then take us to the front door and signal that he wanted to go outside. However, over the last week this has all changed and he is just going to the toilet wherever he fancies in the house.
On a night he sleeps in a small area with a babygate that stops him from moving freely around the house, and in here he has a tray with some newspaper on which he uses on a night-time if he has an accident. During the day we leave the babygate open so he can come and go from his bed into the rooms which he is allowed in. If we go out for a short while (for instance to the shops etc.) Ralph makes every attempt to go to the toilet on this tray if he happens to need to go while we are out, however this is a very rare happening. However when we are in the house at the moment he goes to the toilet as and when he pleases wherever he likes, despite us taking him outside regularly. I'm not sure whether it is an attention issue or whether he doesn't understand us or something.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank!!
