At the weekend we moved to our new house - fantastic! But we seem to be having a few teething probs with Molly. I know she's still very young (20 wks) but previously her toilet habits were great. Now she's gone right down-hill. we started off well on Saturday and have a big bag of treats by the back door ready to praise and treat when she gets it right.

On Sunday evening I took her out about 8pm for a wee and she must have been in the garden sniffing about for a good 15 mins but just would not go to the toilet. we came back in and started washing up then literally a minute later I noticed she'd disappeared and she'd snook off upstairs and pee'd on the carpet. About ten minutes later whilst in the same room as me she poo'd !

Monday she had two accidents but was generally quite good then last night she did the same. This morning she wee'd as i was putting my dressing gown on to take her out (not her fault I guess I should have been quicker) but then ten minutes later she did it again in a differnet room. It's my parents house we've bought and there were no animals so the carpets don't smell or anything. She always used training pads before, but this morning she walked over her pad to get to the carpet!

Is she just confused with the moving? Do we go back to basics? Is it because she's not used to having her 'own' garden and she's too busy exploring to do her business? Any advice greatly appreciated as I don't want her to pick up that I'm getting cross with her.

Sorry it's long.

Hi - yes, straight back to basics :) she'll pick it up again quickly ;)
