Question
Hi Kristen, we recently rescued a female Boston Terrier. We've had her a little over two months now and all of a sudden she's started peeing in the house randomly even after having a walk outside and going there. She trained well and hasn't had any accidents until this past week. After the accident she knows she's done something wrong she falls on her back with her paws up. Any ideas what's causing her erratic behavior?

Answer
Since it just showed up like that,it could very well be a medical problem,such as a bladder infection which are common so having the vet look at he is a good idea

If everything is good,it could be that she is overly submissive and taking her to training classes will give her confidence,as submissive urination they often roll over after doing it and is common in rescue dogs. Lack of confidence causes this type of problem and giving the dog some confidence will help

so I think it's either one of these issues rather then a house training issue
