We're new to the forum-need some advice with potty training.

Our OES Bella will be 6 months next week. She's been doing really well with house breaking and hasn't has an accident in a month and a half. That is until this week. She's gone in the house 6 times...right in front of us! Because she's been doing so well, we have given her freedom to more rooms in the house. Should we limit her rooms again and go back to straight crate training again? Please help! She's driving us nuts!

A couple of things, is Bella spayed, if not the more weeing could be she might be coming into her first heat and having trouble controlling the pee.

Another thing if she has been doing well and just last week gone backwards in the potty department, there might be an underlying problem causing her to loose control, maybe a urinary tract infection. Does the urine have quite a potent smell to it, if so then that can indicate possible UTI.

Has she had any change in her routine or enviroment that might of confused her and put the potty training backwards?

There is a multitude of things and if you can rule some of these out, then maybe you might have to start from scratch again with the potty training. :wink: She is still just a baby too at 6 months, so be patient and consistant with her and I am sure she will click and be back on track with where to potty.

Welcome too. :D
I agree with lisaoes... at 6 months though it is a bit early for her first heat cycle (at least from what I've seen, though I know it can happen) I would be thinking urinary tract infection.
Have there been any changes in your home that she might be feeling anxious about?
