interesting that there isn’t a single reply to any comment from the author Debbie …

Shame because i am having HUGE issues with my little guy.

I am home 24/7 as i am unable to work… I have had him since the day he turned 2 months old… Everything you have said would happen has happened (and then some!)

My vet calls it the *F U Poo* – he is 4 months old… and he has very soft stools (almost diarreah like but it is not)… The vet has checked him out… he does not have worms or parasites at all… he is perfectly healthy… and his diet is as it should be, and there is no food intolerance…

He keeps missing the training mat… Even FOLLOWS me around the house and does it the second i turn to look at him… does it more than he ever used to (which prompted the visit to the vet) – we are talking an example (very near to true) of 3 times an hour compared to 1 every 3 hours… it STINKS sooo bad (worse than it ever did) … and he just looks at me with guilty/sulky eyes as he does it

There is nothing at all wrong with him says the vet, and i believe it… he does not seem/act ill at all and is hyper than he ever was before. I am losing my mind over this stage he is going through… When out on walks he now pulls the other way, nothing has changed at all in our habbits, only his stubborness… HELP!!!

**The reason the vet says its the *F U* poo is BECAUSE it stinks and is almost like diarreah because he is deliberately squeezing it out and missing the mat deliberately

Is this true? (i know its not deliberately malicious if it is true, its just his current stage/phase) but how can we both get through this gentler and easier? He has literally become *deaf* to anything i do or say, unless when i feed or play with him…

My French bulldog has decided, at 4 months old, to only urinate outside. We have had her since she turned 8 weeks. Recently, she has had more accidents indoors than she had in the first 6 weeks of our bringing her home. She is taken out numerous times per day, praised, and offered treats. As far as accidents are concerned, she doesn’t discriminate – wood floors, brick floors, rugs, etc. Surprisingly, she does not soil her crate overnight…knock on wood! I guess she needs to spend more time in her posh puppy pen until we can get back on track. Kudos to the author of this article; you must possess patience super powers. I, on the other hand, am only human.

My 6 months old labrador has gone backwards on potty training. He wakes up in the middle of the night and pee. I even tried to get up earlier like 4am or 5am, but there’s still accident when I wake up. Very frustrated and feel very helpless. Don’t know what to do. Why can’t he sleep through the night now? 🙁

Thank you for discussing when is the best time to potty train your puppy. I am getting my first puppy this month and I’m getting prepared. I will find a reputable puppy potty training program for him as well.
