Going backwards

[YvonneC22]

Is it normal for a 6 month old to regress in behaviour?
Alex is pooing indoors (even with the door open) pooing and weeing in his bed during night and while at work etc.
He hasn't done it for a few months now 

It's everyday for the last few days??

Please tell me he'll stop it soon 

[Joules]

Perfectly normal I'm afraid.  He is becoming a teenager 

Although if he is pooing and weeing indoors it might be worth popping him to the vet to make sure there is no medical reason for it 

Coco became a nightmare at 7 months - her recall went completely and I found her totally frustrating and exasperating    Just when I thought I had it cracked 

You may feel that all the training and progress you have made since he came home has gone out of the window but you just need to go back to basics now and persevere and he will come out the other side.  It might take a few months though - sorry

Absolutely agree with Joules  You have to basically treat him like a baby puppy as far as training goes, keep up with all training as though he has never had it and just ride out the storm   

It does end, but it is a matter of a few months

Sorry to hear of your problems, hope he gets back to the potty training sooner rather than later

Teenager's eh

Im gonna sounds selfish and say im glad im not the only one it hqppens to
 
Hes made that much of a mess of his bed and blanket ive had to bin them. Going to purchase a plastic wipe down one tomorrow

Could it be the start of secondary teething? Archie regressed hugely when his back teeth started bedding in.

I have a field spaniel pup at this stage, no problem with housetraining but defo going through a similar phase

[YvonneC22]

He is fine again now back to the trained behaved little man 
Thanks for listening to my rant guys 

[Joules]

Glad things have improved again - there are likely to be many more ups and downs I'm afraid    Just go back to basics again and he will get there eventually 

[Ruby Tuesday]

Just go back to basics again and he will get there eventually 

Yep, our Jem is now nearly one and has been a challenge at times but we are now beginning to see that our training hasn't been a waste of time and is beginning to pay off
