hello! I have a 8 month puppy who was a rez dog until 4 months old. I brought her home and she never had an accident in my house. She was immediately down to potty outside. it was amazing.

well, when we go visit friends or family, she tends to have an accident at their houses. it’s so surprising, but consistent. shes done this at maybe 4 different houses now. even when she’s been outside.

it seems she hasn’t understood potty “training” to extend anywhere beyond our house but I actually don’t know how to do this with other places. seems like maybe she’s fundamentally not understanding inside vs outside?

we do have a backyard so I just let her out back several times a day btw off leash. not a lot of praise ever for pottying outside at home but when we walk I’ll give her praise. also, she can and does hold it through the night and morning or when I’m gone for 5-6 hours at home.
