: We bought a 1 year old female JRT 3 months ago. The people we bought her from said she was housebroken with the use of a doggy door. She uses it to go number two but she is still urinating inside and has actually urinated on our bed twice. We don't understand why because she sleeps all night with us and JRT's typically don't soil where they sleep. We are doing everthing that we've learned and nothing is working? Can you help??

Hi Melanie,
First of all have your girl checked by your Vet to rule out any medical problems, I can tell you the only time my Meems peeded in the house was because she had an infection, and after that was cleared up then never again.

If a dog is housebroken sometimes they need a refresher course in housebreaking. Especially if this is a new dog, and sometimes they forget and a move will upset them. It is up to you to start taking the dog out side and showing her that this is the place to go Pee!
The most important thing is to stay out with her and when she uses the bathroom outside, to praise her for going outside.
