My puppy is now 6 months old, and is still not housebroken! As a small puppy (2 months) she was doing great; using pads if she couldn't hold it, and going outside every time we took her (which was very often).
Now she has regressed to the point where she is having a poop and a pee accident in the house every day, and ignoring the pads.
She was really never crate trained, although she sleeps in her crate every night, and when we are not home, she is confined to the kitchen. During the day, I am usually home, and she stays at my feet all day. Her accidents are happening late in the day, and we take her out regularly. We have tried to bell train her as well, but she never will go ring the bell when she wants to go out; she never lets us know at all that she has to go out. How can we teach her to let us know? She is really really smart; catches on to tricks and such very quickly; going potty outside is a different story
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
