Change in Potty Habits

[GraciesMom]

We’ve had five year old Teddy for about three weeks now. For the first two weeks, he was the perfect gentleman when it came to his potty habits. He appeared to be house broken which was consistent with the information on his shelter intake form. This past week however he has had multiple accidents in the house, both urinating and defecating. We take him out six to eight times a day along with our other dog, a two year old female Frenchie. If it was just urinating I would suspect a UTI but since it’s both, I suspect it’s likely behavioral. Any suggestions for how we might approach resolving this problem?

Totally behavior…. They are stinkers and stubborn. Stay consistent with what your are doing and if not doing so x bring treats and praise when does business outside

Thank you so much! I have been using treats and generously bestowing praise, but I’ll try to up the ante a bit.
