<p>Casey is doing the same thing. We have a doggie door to which he has access 24/7 and has been very good about going outside to do his business. One day I let him come into our bed room and he peed right in front of me! he was quite proud!</p>
<p>I figured he was marking his territory?</p>

Hi all - I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the info and support. Since he's been so good I always forget that he is, in fact, still a puppy. :) On bright note, since implementing some of the changes and tightening up the regimen there have been zero accidents! Guess we just needed the reminder to treat the puppy like.. well... a puppy (duh!)

Waffle did this, too. My breeder told me he was testing me-- to see how much he can get away with now that he feels like he's "grown up". He couldn't get away with much, the brat. I realized there are times I NEED to take him out or he will be very upset: right when I wake up, and RIGHT BEFORE I go to bed. Taking him out just minutes before I went to sleep and shutting the door to my room kept my house pee-free. I also tried my hardest to keep him in my room or in his crate when I wasn't…

My Dad would let him out, though. I also trained him to ring a bellhop bell when he needs to go outside. He hasn't had an accident since July. :] If this is something he's doi…tag:mycorgi.com,2011-01-18:1150197:Comment:8458302011-01-18T17:19:25.991ZJanehttp://mycorgi.com/profile/Jane944

Penny is almost 2 (in March) and the same thing has happened with her but with #2. She has had 3 accidents in the living room and each time it was while I was upstairs getting ready in the morning. Each time she had been outside and gone after eating her breakfast. I have started gating her upstairs with me again and will slowly let her regain her freedom. I'm chalking up to the terrible 2's?!

<p>i had that happen to me at that same age. my first thing i will tell u is take him to the vet to be sure he dosnt have a UTI. some dogs pee in front of u to get ur attention to say "mom, there is something wrong" but do what Sam says. no dog is reliable until 2years old. i made the mistake of thinking teddy would be ok outside the crate at night or when i am gone and i have come home to lots of messes. limit the freedom for now. if the vet says there is no UTI then rule that out but i…</p>

<p>Hi Jessica, Murphy is old enough and his organs are matured enough to hold, however, to be completely pottytrained and have ZERO accidents, he'll need to continue his crate training until 1 yr - 2 yrs. Yes, some corgis can be quite reliable and master it before then, but most owners who have a 2 year old corgi will not tell you their rare accidents between the age of 1 - 2. Slowly adjust his freedom, don't give full roam of the house just yet.</p>

<p>Read and reread these <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mycorgi.com/forum/topics/potty-training-6?commentId=1150197%3AComment%3A689383">two</a> articles, be patient, you are almost there, make sure you clean up REALLY well and no more negative reaction, that will just encourage Murphy to hide and go elsewhere. Good luck!</p>
