Dear Cathy: During the day, our 1-year-old Pomeranian is restricted to the entire main floor (using baby gates). She has access to the backyard through a pet door. Whether we are home or not, she goes outside as needed. When…
are home or not, she goes outside as needed. When she travels with us in our RV, she can be left alone in the air-conditioned vehicle for several hours with no barking and no accidents. At night, she sleeps upstairs in her crate.
People are also reading… Begin by taking her outside to relieve herself after every nap, meal and playtime session. When she starts to relieve herself, say “go potty” to coincide with the desired behavior. Use a marker/reward word, like “Bingo” or a clicker to mark the behavior followed by a food reward.
During this training, clean the areas where she has had accidents with an enzymatic cleaner to break down the vomit, urine, or feces and remove the odor. This will reduce her chances of having an accident in the spot again. I have had pet psychics “talk” to her, used pheromone collars and diffusers, and worked with a pet behaviorist. The vet has prescribed every medicine available. Nothing has worked. Do you have any other suggestions? Will this go away with age? — Karen, Burlington, Connecticut
