house training
dont know whats happened but up till today tilly was comming on well with her house training going outside for a wee and poo getting praised everytime she did it outside saying nothing when she did it indoors just put her outside say go wee then i clean the floor while someone watches her outside that is untill today, she has gone outside squatted like she is haveing a wee then running indoors and doing it on the carpet i cant figure out why she is not going to the same place in the house to wee its allways somewhere different just cant understand why its all slipped back she is 12 weeks old now
Re: house training
12 weeks is still very baby, with minimal bladder control.
Could be something scared her in the garden, could be the weather was not what she wanted. Be patient, and be diligent with your taking out and rewarding. Go out with her every time and make sure she has high-value rewards after she has obliged. Don't be tempted to hurry her, don't stare at her, don't fuss and sigh, just wait quietly.
Be grateful she isn't a human baby - they take aaaages

A dog is never bad or naughty - it is simply being a dog

Also, when she comes back in, take her straight out again and see if she'll go (this might be better if she's on a lead so you can lead her back in and take her out before she has time to go on the carpet). Sometimes dogs do 'double wees'.
