I am struggling this morning, so am looking for some advice as to where I'm going wrong
Misty seemed house-trained when we got her but now wont stop peeing on the living room carpert. She had an accident there the day we got her, which got cleaned up. Then she kept having them all in the same area, so we totally soaked a huge patch of the carpet in cleaner, just in case we'd missed anything. I then bought an ultra violet light to hunt out any other stains, and cleaned up about 6 other spots, which I'm not sure if they were new or left-overs from Murphy's house-trainingicon_nwunsure Well I came downstairs this morning, to find 2 urine patches in different places in my living room, these are the first accidents in 5 days. I dont know where I'm going wrong.
Now I've moved the baby gate to the kitchen, and both of them will stay there while we're out, and through the night. Murphy used to sleep with us but Misty really snores badly, no-one could sleep. We always watch her if she goes out the back, and praise her like mad when she pees. She doesn't get out of our sight, but pees without and circling or sniffing.
The strange thing is, I had a day where I had to go to Cumnock to work, so was out for 7 and a half hours, my father-in-law was ill, so they were both in all that time without any accidents! Are we expecting too much from her? It seems like we've had her forever but in reality it been 3 weeks.
I feel so down about it this morning, will I forever be cleaning up urine from my carpet?
