Hey everyone! Just another update on our Mugsy. I could've bet money that he would have a naughty streak where he'd have accidents in random parts of the house (as he has had in the past...) but since losing his companion, Baby, he's been great! Not one accident and shows very little signs...

Hi, I am new to the site, and I have been doing some research as to why my English bulldog is regressing in her potty training. I have had Bella (7yrs old) since she was 3 yrs old and she was fully potty trained. Probably had 3 accidents since I have had her. Recently, she has been peeing on...
