We crate-trained our little Sully....and after much work and tears and poopy-messes, ta-da, it worked!

Sully has been "housebroken" with no accidents in the house for over a month now. He's good to tell us when he needs to go outside...

Wait. Let me "rephrase" that: he WAS good to tell us. Now that he is 7 mo. & 3 weeks old, he recently started pooping in the house RIGHT AFTER we take him out! We had to throw away the pillow in his kennel because he pooped on it!

He knows he's wrong when he does it because he comes to us afterward and cowers - his way of telling us "I've been bad Mommy, please don't be mad at me." [And I just put Frontline on his back...and had to give him a bath b/c he was covered in poop. We had to start barracading his kennel again....a freedom long since given to him.]

Is this some sort of yorkie teenage rebellion? Laziness? What?

There has been 4 "accidents" in 3 days. After two months of perfection...what happened?
