Im a proud owner of a 5 month old female boston. She did extremely well potty training. until about 2 weeks ago. All of a sudden if i take a shower or leave the room she pees on like a bed or couch but not on the floor. I will take her out right before and still same thing happens. Needless to say it is extremely frustrating seeing that she did so well in the beginning. Maybe its because she os going into heat soon or im not sure what the problem is. any suggestions would be great..

I might have a lot of spelling errors lol

I wish I could answer this, but my pup is a mear 2 months old right now.

Unfortunately she was probably given too much trust and freedom too early. 5 months is still very young to be housebroken.

You need to start all over again as if she was a new addition. Obviously you can't trust her alone for 5 minutes. So it's back to the old routine : go out every hour, 10 minutes after every meal, before bedtime and when getting up.

If you have to go to the bathroom, she goes with you or she goes in the crate. Never leave her unattended on furniture, even for 30 seconds. Remember, everytime she has an accident, it's your fault for letting it happen. It's not her fault, she's only a puppy. Also, every accident means you start all over again, and every bit of freedom that was gained was given too early, so you take it back and readjust.

One more thing : make sure you rule out the possibility of a urinary tract infection or other condition. If that's the case, she needs medical attention. Although from your post it seems from typical puppy drawback when given too much freedom...

Good luck.
