Oh my goodness, we are having a tough time with our dogs.

Ever since we moved, it seems like potty training has gone back to square one.

It started with Aiko our youngest misbehaving and going potty on the floor, but now Banksy is also starting to.

For example this morning, I let them out at 5AM then went back to bed. Got up and fed them at 8AM. Let them out at 840AM then left for work.

My boyfriend woke up at 915AM to POOP and Pee on the living room floor!!!!!!!!!!!!

We recently switched to FROMM kibble in the AM and Raw at night, to keep the cost down... and I know that changed things with how often they go. But it has been a month now that their diet is consistent so I cannot use that as an excuse anymore. We are getting so fed up!

Do they both need to be crated again when we leave full time until they can be trusted again?

This option will be tough for me soon as my boyfriend is leaving next week to work in Alberta for 3 months so I will be alone in taking care of them. Work is only 15 minutes away and I only work 4 days a week. I am able to leave work to let them out a couple times a day but sometimes it gets busy so the timing isn't always consistent and sometimes they could go several hours before me being able to come by.

We have been going back to square one with all the basics, being consistent with trainging, and still they are not getting it. I am afraid once my boyfriend leaves it will get worse!

Any new suggestions for us would be greatly appreciated.
 
I would start by crating again until they can be trusted.
 
I agree with going back to crating. I come home for lunch but I'm not always consistent with the time and my guys do just fine. It doesn't seem to bother them whether I come home at 11/1130/12.

The pups are unsettled due to the move.... Go back to basics until they are back on schedule

What a nightmare..... Well, the good thing is you know that they CAN be house trained, as they were until very recently!

I agree they're probably just a little shell shocked from moving, and re-crating them I'm sure will help train them back to going outside really quickly. I bet it'll help them with their routine, and you won't have to worry about any mess you may be coming home to....
 
Thanks guys

Great advice here. I agree they're just a bit out of whack from the move. Good luck!!!
