Hi! I've had Maggie for 2.5 months. She is a oversized toy poodle. Used for breeding. She is really shy. Being a 'kennel' dog for 6+years, I can understand. She is a house dog, just goes outside occasionally. Hopefully more in the spring. I am 81 and have had dogs for most of my life. Chihuahuas (5) most recently. I decided I was tired of he endemic heart disease in chihuahuas and changed to toy poodles.
My problem is that this lovely little dog goes on human grade pee pads (washable) just fine. Every other day, it seems, she will suddenly just squat and pee. I, of course, holler at her, and she stops immediately. I clean it up right away with an enzyematic cleaner. I am wondering why does she do this.? I want you all to know, I don''t shame her after it is all over, just yelling NO stops her. She seems healthy otherwise. I this something I should talk with the vet about, or do you think it is behavioral? Thanks
