I'm relaying the story on behalf of my wife as i work away from home on a rotational basis and we got a female Beagle puppy for her prior to my departure to keep her company.
Anyway, the puppy spends a good deal of the time outside in the garden with my wife, does it's toilet outside also, however upon coming back inside within 5 minutes has messed inside also.
I have advised my wife that before bringing her inside she take her to the part of the garden she does the toilet and try make her do toilet before coming inside. Sometimes this works, other times it doesn't, but she still comes back inside and messes the house. This stopped for a few weeks, then over the past couple of weeks the puppy has being going upstairs to mess there instead.
We are obviously missing out something fundamental in her training and looking for advice/guidance as to what we must do to change this habit.
Help please.
