I can’t figure out why my dogs are suddenly not holding their bowels while we are away. They are still young, one is 4 years old and the other is not even 2. I’m frustrated that they keep having accidents again. Do I need to go back to crating them again? It seem that this all started when we were on a family vacation for more than a week. The person watching them didn’t watch them as well as maybe they should have. I’ve had the carpets professionally cleaned with pet stain removal services. Nothing seems to be working.
Could be a couple of things.. Your dogs could have a small infection causing it to be hard for them to hold it. Or two they have become stressed because you have been away.
I would go back to basic, get their houses out and slowly get them back into the grove of things again. Just remember not to scream at them or they will find a better hidden spot in your house to go.
