My 10-month-old rescue was potty trained when I adopted her but now she's peeing inside again. I take her out constantly but she'll still pee in the house an ho
Three possibilities: medical issue, incomplete training that looked complete, or stress from the transition. Rule out the first with a vet visit — UTIs and bladder infections are common and fixable. If she's healthy, the problem is probably incomplete generalization. She learned the rules at her previous home or the shelter but hasn't fully transferred them to your house. Go back to basics: scheduled potty breaks every 2 hours, tether her to you with a leash when she's inside so she can't sneak off, and heavily reward outdoor elimination. If you can't supervise, she goes in a crate or gated area. No free roaming until she's gone 14 days without an accident. Most rescues re-establish the pattern in 2-3 weeks if you remove the opportunity to make mistakes. If she's peeing directly in front of you or in her sleeping area, that's a red flag for either medical or severe anxiety — consult your vet immediately.
