I have a question about… leaving my pet
I have a small Shih-Tzu mix. I am home with her quite a bit, but when I do have to leave, even for short periods of time, she will urinate and or defecate on the floor. I think she is doing this out of spite because I leave her. Is there anything I can do to stop this behavior. I have tried keeping her in a confined area (no crate) in the kitchen, left an old shirt of mine, but this doesn’t always seem to help. Any suggestions?
