HELP w/ potty training

[Corgi_Lover]

My pups never had much of a problem in house training but now after two months they are revolting. Or atleast one of them is. I think it is Trevor. OMG so frustrating. Some one has been peeing on the little rug in the kitchen(the only room they are allowed in) but then today i let them out as soon as i got home, 2:00 i left them outside for 10 min while i changed (they have electric fence) but then i went out agian with them around 4 and spent 1 hour outside playing with them. I took them back out at 6 seperatly for about 15 min each. after about 30 min, i went in the kitchen and there was pee all over the floor and trevor looked really guilty and sorry. as soon as i went in the kitchen he ran to the crate when i called him out he was really low to the ground liek he thought he was going to get hit, which i dont do. then i let them bot out at 8 again. then again at 9:45. at 10:30 i went in and there was poop all over the floor. this has never happened before and i cant punish them because i dont catch them in the act and i am not certain i know who it is. i heard this happens aroung the 6-9 month age. is this correct? what should i do?

Yes, sometimes puppies have relapses. First you make sure there is no urinary tract infection. And try to find out which one it is. Then you just go back a few steps in housebreaking and reinforce the training.

They need to be confined when you can not physically watch them as you did in the beginning. Take them out and praise like crazy when they go where they should. Then they can be loose in the house with supervision. Anytime they look like they might need to go out you hustle them out, and go back to the schedule for smaller puppies.

Be sure to clean any accidents with an enzyme cleaner such as Simple Solution or Nature's Miracle.

Good luck.
