Our Abbey will be 7 months old come the 11th of March. She is still having numerous accidents in the house (peeing and pooping) and I am not sure if this is still normal for a puppy to be having accidents or is there something we should be doing. I want to change the backdoor carpet but I am worried she's just going to destroy it with pee again.
I clean up and disinfect the spot everytime she does have an accident hoping the scent of her accident is not there, but it seems like its getting to the point where she's doing it just to do it and she doesnt run to the door.
This is my first time owning a beagle as a pup and I have never had such difficulty in training a puppy to go outside. I have had other dogs before. Any suggestions in what to do. We scould her and stick her in her kennel as a punishment. I'm not sure if we should be grabbing her and taking her outside after her accident. We're getting a little frustrated with our beautiful abbey and we want to teach her that having accidents in the house is wrong and that she needs to go outside. Out of the whole day she'll have 3-4 accidents. Some feedback would be greatly appreciated.
