Pooping pup

[Flowerofthefen]

Our parsons was really easy to house train. We got her at 8 weeks , she is now 9 months old. After the initial accidents in the house over a period of 2/ 3 weeks she has been brilliant until the last 2 weeks. She poos in the house overnight. She gets ample opportunity to go outside before bed. It's since the heat wave and also she has been in season, her bits have swollen. Wondering if these two things have upset her? Luckily the floor is easy to clean!

Stress is usually a trigger for random indoor toileting.
Are you just letting her out or actually walking her for poops? All three of mine need a proper leg stretch before last and first poops, even after being in overnight, they wouldn't just go straight out and do one. The young female can actually take forever/go quite late into the night.

Has she been told off for toileting inside as this can make them sneaky about it.

Before I read to the end, I was thinking, " I bet she's coming into season". Then I saw that she is/has just been in season. It can really unsettle them, they don't understand why they feel as they do and that can be stressful.

Are you just letting her out for last thing toilet and assuming she goes, or actively monitoring?

I agree it’s not all unusual for bitches to have accidents when they are in season .
Go out with her and take a little more time .
It might be worth bringing forward to earlier her main meal for a little while ..

We never tell our dogs off for having an accident in the house. We know they are house trained so there must be a reason. I walk her round to go to the toilet outside. She is a bugger for having a pee then trying to drag me back in!! It literally started when she came into season so it's good to know this might well be the cause. Thank you.

Also see dog dogs! Mine did it at about that age. Just went back to basics re toilet training. Went out with him again on a lead do he couldn’t run in. Walked around until he did what was required. Plenty of praise.

Don’t fret. She’ll get back to normal.
