BerniceC: at first I thought Patch was being spiteful when he strated going in the house then I relized,as much as we would like to think...dogs are not spiteful,they truelly don't know how to be (although sometimes I REALLY wonder,lol) So,when he kept peeing in the house then on the shoes,I knew something was wrong..he has had several infections since.Poor guy,his hips are getting so bad now he falls alot because he can't turn and he wobbles when he stands....Hubby still won't see it and I HATE keeping PAtch if he is in pain,the thing is Patch isn't vocal about anything,so hubby thinks nothing is wrong with him,anywho...sorry got off the topic,lol....vet may at least be able to give you some retraining tips if it isn't an infection.
