Hi,
My 11 month beagle has never had this problem before. She has been completely potty trained and has not had an accident in the house for almost 7 months. However, I just moved in to a new house recently, and at first there were no problems. But lately, she will ask to go outside to go to the bathroom. I can tell that she needs to go really bad by the way she acts. But when we get outside, she won't go! I tell her to "go potty" and she knows what it means, but she absolutely will not go. She gets so distracted easily, sniffs around forever, tries to wander into other people's yards, watches the cars that drive by, and tries to catch bugs, but won't go potty. I even try walking her around the neighborhood so that she'll realize she needs to go, but she never will. I can't leave her outside alone because the yard is not fully fenced yet, so eventually I just have to bring her back inside.
Well tonight she did the same thing before bed, so I figured she would just wait until morning to go. But when we got back inside, she pooped on the floor! :angryfire: And we had just spent about 15 minutes outside! This is so unlike her, I don't know what to do. I am getting very frustrated, but I don't know what the problem is! Please, any help you can give me would be great!
