    we've got a walker hound puppy here and while she has learned somewhat, that when she is taken outside she can do her business on the lawn; but for the last 2 days instead of going when she's been taken, she's decided to do away with the concept and has taken to pooping and peeing all over the living room. Yesterday it was in the morning sometime between 830 and 1100, and today it was somewhere between 530 and 830. she gets taken out several times a day along with the other 2 girls - a tibetan terrier and a miniature australian sheppherd: both know the drill.

    help!

    Between 8 and 11 , is too long a wait if she is only a puppy, they have very little control over when they are going to go, same with the 5-30 and 8-30 time you said.
    I am presuming you are talking daytime here, It really is up to you to take her out frequently to the garden, wait with her untill she does go and PRAISE her when she is finished. Did anything happen to frighten her previous to the last 2 days you mention?. Would one of the other dogs have frightened her?. Maybe if you bring her out on her own, and play with her for a bit, she might relax and do what she needs to do. Be patient with her, she is after all only a puppy.:)

    no it was 830 in the morning; 530 at night. nobody was home/awake at those times naturally. You're right though we have a bad habit of just sending them outside and because of the 2 already trained have just gotten used to the assumption that theyre doing their business properly.
