We have a 5 month old Chihuahua, that we thought we had house trained. We also have a cat so therefore have a cat flap which the dog has been trained to use and was doing brilliantly with hardly any accidents.
Since we have had a lot of rain he will not go outside unless he is forced or if we go out with him, instead he will go inside the kitchen where we keep him. He will also sometimes go in the kitchen after we have been out with him. He has also started peeing on his bedding and I'm having to wash it every couple of days. We have now noticed that even if it is dry out he will sometimes pee or poo inside!
This is very frustrating as he always has access to outside anytime of day. He knows when he has done wrong because when he has gone to the toilet inside, as soon as you walk into the kitchen he will go straight to his bed rather than come and greet you.
I'm not sure what to do as I was thinking of putting puppy pads down when the weather is bad, but I'm scared that he will get confused and think he has to pee indoors all the time. What is the best approach to this as we are finding it very stressful.
