My puppy is now one year old. She has been house broken for months. Now, for some reason, she has been going in the house several times a week. I can not figure out why or what to do about it. Any suggestions? Thank you

What type of accidents is she having? If she is urinating it could be two things... UTI or Pyometra if she isn't spayed.

If she is pooping in the house, it could be parasites or bacterial overgrowth.

Before you start calling her a naughty dog, you should have her checked out by a vet to rule out any type of medical issues.

I agree with Lucky that a vet check to rule out anything medical, is the first course of action. If the vet check is clear, come back and we'll try to figure out what else could be causing this.

The vet would be a good place to start. Thank you

You're welcome. Do come back and let us know how it's going. If there is nothing medical going on, it's a behavioral issue, and we can try to help you narrow down what's causing it. But, when a dog that's potty trained suddenly starts to go in the house, it's always best to make sure it's not a medical issue, before moving on.
