and that works!!!
Miss Spaniel, now at1 year old. Very good most of the time. Comes to call (except when chasing birds), brilliant walking on lead, fab in the car, good at most commands, loves (obviously!) long walks, tennis balls and anything with water.
I'm religious about how long she is walked for..longer the better. She must go out twice a day at least, and for at least an hour each time. Any less, it drives me crackers!! She comes to work with me most days, and has free run all morning, and is put away for 3 hours in the afternoon before I finish and we go out wlaking.
Anyway, we've recently moved house, and she has been brilliant. Settled, no issues. I've put up a baby gate to stop her having access to the majority of the house. I just don't want dog hair everywhere, and this is a no dog on furniture house! She and old dog are therefore confined to the kitchen and access to the back garden. They can also have access to the study just off the kitchen. We've just renovated this room and she has been in and out keeping an eye on our painting techniques! It's now painted and just had 'office carpet' put in. We want them to be able to come in, sit down while we're on the computers, just that one room where they are part of the family when we're in there.
BUT, with NO reason she keeps peeing on the new carpet. She has access to the garden, she's just been for a long walk, been with me all morning. It's like she is 8 weeks old again... comes in from outside and goes! We've closed the door, but don't want to banish her and therefore old dog too completely. She was fine with the old ruined carpet!!
This issue has been a total nightmare with this dog... I swear to god she is wired wrong... has no concept of right or wrong place. She likes to pee on the patio too. She also peed on a stingy nettle - got stung... yelped. 2 moments later she went back to do it again!! lol
Any other advice that might work? She has been crated, but isn't now as she is fine (ish) on vinyl, we keep a close eye on her as best we can, but we're not winning.. well I think we are for a month or so, then it all goes tits!
