2-year old still peeing on the floor

One more thing I should mention..... My behaviorist suggested checking the urine for temperature when I returned home. Sounds gross, I know, but the idea was if it was warm, it had just happened and therefore was probably a product of Tae not being able to hold it. Also, as Swean noted, if the urine spots are really wet, that's an indicator they are fresher. Sometimes Tae's were wet and sometimes dry, so it really varied.

Crazy dogs we have!

Maybe it's a Bailey thing...ha ha...

My Bailey (although he's a boy ),used to have this problem as well - I would hate to leave him home b/c I knew when I came home there would be a mess, and he would feel so bad. Hanging the head, no greeting, it was so sad...Plus - it was so hard (impossible really) to contain him to any one room, b/c he would break out of everything I could think of to confine him. (I'm back to this same dilema now as you may know from previous posts), anyway, I believe he has SA because his previous owner really doted on him and never left him alone (stay-at-home-mom), and I just couldn't do that ALL the time. Well now I've moved in with my fiance and he has 2 other dogs, and never once has Bail had an accident...

I am able to take Bail to work with me most of the time now, but not all the time again - but having the other dogs around to keep him company I think really helped him. He always had cats, but I think it was the dogs there that really made a difference...

So, have you thought about getting your Bailey a friend?

:D

Another one

We have thought about another one, but are nervous about it since we both commute 45 minutes a day and I think it would be impossible to expect an 8-week old puppy to last sometimes 10+ hours a day in a crate. Besides, with two humans and two Boxers sharing one queen size bed, I think I'd have to move to the floor.
