8-month puppy training help.
Hi,
Thave an 8-month pup and we recently moved to a carpeted apartment. She is crate trained & when she wants to go, she'll start barking.
We still take her out constantly, but she'll still pees on the carpet. When we had hardwood floors, she would never do so.
Not sure what to do. I already sprayed the areas w/ "Nature's Miracle Severe Mess Enzymatic".
How do I stop her from peeing on the carpet? Or thinking the carpet is a "potty-field"?
Since we moved & she is crate-trained, her barking seems super uncontrollable when we leave the room and we never had that problem. I heard if you cover the crate with a blanket, it helps with the separation anxiety but we have not done so with that. I play soothing music with the dogs running on the beach, I give her treats to chew on. 833
I have all her toys in the crate too. I feel like I'm doing something wrong.
I was wondering if it is best for her to be strictly in the crate for a couple of months all over again. Where we only take her out to pee, walks, play outside, and then she goes back in to sleep, drink and eat. Not have her wonder around the apartment anymore until we think she’s ready to slowly start off doing that.
I feel like we are starting all-over again after months of training. It's a bit stressful. I thought we were doing so well with all the training & it's been a journey. But, now that we might have to start over from the start has been really stressing us. 601
