Well potty training was going very well - no accidents for 2 weeks - until this morning. My mom takes Max out in the morning when she wakes up, before work. I came downstairs to a note saying Max refused to go potty outside this morning, and instead went right when he came back inside.
I've been taking him outside every hour now, and he's only given me a few courtesy tinkles, but nothing major. We just got back in from a potty trip, and were playing in the living room and he decided the floor would be a good place to go. I corrected him (saying "Ah ah! <clap> Outside!"), but he paid me no attention at all.
With the heat index reaching 105+, with 90%+ humidity, for several days now (today's the start of it) I'm at a loss as to what to do with this setback. Right now I'm just limiting the amount of free roam he has - he was to the point of being able to be alone in the living room without any problem - and taking him out more often.
Any suggestions are welcome. Is this just something puppies go through, or is there something else going on?
Oh, and the basic background: Max is a 15 week old Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Came from a nice breeder in southwest VA. He's crate trained, and was very reliable in house manners until today. He gets fed twice a day, and gets water whenever he wants it.
