Dog digression

We have a golden retriever who is about 1 1/2 years old. Totally potty trained. Now we just got a new puppy and now my older dog is having accidents in the house. Is it normal for a potty trained dog to degrees for some emotional reasons?

Much like children, previously house trained dogs can regress when presented with a new sibling.

@HootyTheNightOwl that’s what I’m thinking too. I hope this stops soon though.

@HootyTheNightOwl that was my thoughts too. Thank you

@2brandon2 Can you try putting puppy training pads down where she is doing her messes??? You might be able to get her to use those rather than the floor.

@HootyTheNightOwl it all seems to be so random, and happens in the blink of an eye 👁️
