I'm really hoping someone can help!!
We're having an absolute nightmare with little Ralph. He's just coming up to 8 months old at the start of November, and still hasn't grasped the concept of going to the toilet outside. He manages the odd week at a time of no mess, but this week it's got worse than ever and he's going to the toilet at least once during the night, along with having one wee, and is then doing the same thing during the day! We've tried telling him no and showing him the outdoor area where we want him to go and we've tried ignoring him as his breeder suggested it might be an attention seeking tactic.
He has previously been exceptionally good but it's almost as if he was house trained and then sort of forgot. He doesn't go to the toilet in the house when there's somebody at home, but it's almost as if he's too lazy to go outside as he's let out for 15 minutes before bed (and goes for a walk earlier in the evening) and still manages to mess in the house.
I'm confused as to how he can grasp it for a few weeks and then change the next day...
Hope someone has a solution!!
