    Dog behaviour after a move

    So I made a fairly big move, and my 11 month pug/poodle came along by plane.  The first week has been tough, she's moping around not eating and sleeping a lot.  I expected this...what I didn't expect would be waking up to poo on the carpet the last 2 mornings.  She hasn't done that since original house training.  We go out before bed and first thing in the morning, and nothing has really changed, expect there is a 3 hour time change.  Could that explain it?

     I am thinking of crating her a bed now...if I don't catch her doing it, I don't know how to correct the behaviour?  Any suggestions?

     

    thanks!

    Crating would solve the problem the quickest probably. When I first got Lily she was going to the bathroom in the house even though I know she was house broken. So I've been crating her and that is solving the problem.

    that's quite normal behaviour! they know they are not supposed to "go" in the original house, but dont understand that they are actually not supposed to go in ANY house... i agree with crating. i'm sure since you had her house broken in your old house, she will catch on real quick! no worries! i had some house training regression with moca around the same age. and i didnt move... just started dating someone.... lol...
