His training has gone out the window!

[PerroAmor]

My 4 month old toy poodle Perro has always been a bit ADHD (well alot) but he was catching on to toilet training slowly and had almost stopped having accidents on the floor, always going on the paper and occasionally when i take him outside.

But for the last few days he has had a mental break, peeing everywhere! Even on his own bed!

I've had dogs before but they have been so easy to train!

Also he seems very timid, i roused on him yesterday but it was nothing more than normal, but he keeps being all jumpy and stuff lately.

I'm so confused!!!!!!!!!!

He may need to be seen by a vet to make sure he's not sick.

How old and is the dog neutered?

Your puppy is still very young. It takes a lot of time and patience. I have 3 poodles. Two of them I got when they were 8 weeks old. When they are very young, they will have lots of accidents, even in their own bed. One thing that I did to make cleaning up their bed easier is that I took out the original pillow and replaced it with a regular bed pillow tucked into a kitchen garbage bag. If your pillow is small enough, remove it from the cover, put it in a kitchen garbage bag, and put it back in the cover. If the puppy makes a mistake, you just need to wash the cover. You can wipe down the plastic pillow cover or just replace the plastic bag when needed.

Just keep working with your puppy and try to minimize his access to the house until he has full control over his bladder and is totally potty trained. It can be a slow process, but stick with it. Good luck!

Puppies can easily have relapses as you train them. You just have to make sure you stick with the training and reinforcement even when you think they've "got it".

I walk a French bulldog puppy daily that had never peed outside when I took her on. One day she peed on the sidewalk and I gave her a treat and showered her with attention. After that, she'd make a point of holding it in until we got outside just for the treat. It wasn't long before she was only peeing outside and all was well. So I weaned her off the reward, and she was fine - still peeing outdoors. Then a couple of weeks later....bang. She's back to peeing indoors again and won't pee outside.
