I've never had a puppy as young as Chance (~5 months)...so I have a kinda dumb question.
Is it normal for them to have umm - I guess "relapses" would be the best word to describe it - during potty training? He does very well for a week or two, even asking to be let out, then he poops in the house two days in a row (yesterday and today).
We never correct him after the fact - only if we catch him doing it - haven't changed the routine at all and try to be as consistant as we can. We let him out every couple hours unless he's crated, every time he starts sniffing the floor and of course every time he asks to go out. He gets a treat and lots of praise every time he goes out and does his business.
