Hello all. I am new here. I have a 2 year old beagle who was perfectly potty trained would just jump through her doggie door into the yard whenever she had to do anything. Out of the clear blue she is going in the house!!
She is not sick or in any pain, otherwise acting completley normal. Help!!!

have you had her to the vet's to be checked for a UTI?

dogs do not show pain by crying, they pant, but she could be panting for other reasons as well.

when there is a serious behavior change such as this, it means a trip to the vet.

Well she isn't panting at all & she is pooping too....it has been raining & cold all of a sudden outside, she is very smart. She did go out awhile ago & I rewarded her. She is eating very good. If it continues I will take her. You are So right about how they show pain. I have had 4 doggies in my life. This baffled me 'cause she potty trained so well! You can see her on the new dog part. It's Besha, again thankyou so much...what kind of pup(s) do you have???

are you actually walking her? that stimulates the bowels & should help. you are going to have to start taking her out on a leash to get her back into the swing of things - rain or shine!!! lol


I have two shelter mutts that were somebody's rejects - one from TX one from FL

That's what I'm doin walking her in the COLD...I was SO spoiled, she loved that doggie door. Took to it like water. That is so great your mutt pup babies. They r the best dogs. We had a rescue black lab when I was in college named Meesha, Russian for little bear, beautiful sweet dog. that's kinda where I got came up with Besha's name ....what are your pups names?

austin & archie = the A team. archie is very submissive & austin very dominant - works for them & they are really joined at the hip, right from day one.

Omg! That is so cute! I'm sure Austin & Archie are lucky pups .

This is a strech, but I had another pup before I got Besha, his name was Boomie, he was beautiful, he was a month shy of being 18 years old in August & we lost him. It was devastating. He had alot of trouble holding it & would go in the house especially because of his age. Besha saw this, but miraculously trained perfectly & I was just wondering if maybe she misses him, cause she is going where he was going....it was 4 mos. ago. She is doing a little better....watching her like a hawk, treats after she goes the whole bit...
