Hi, my female Shih Tzu just turned 1 yesterday and we are still having potty issues with her. She's my second dog and my male Shih Tzu is 2 years old and has been potty trained ever since he was 5 months old. We have tried to train her to use the potty bell but she rings it so softly that no one can hear her and I have also purchased a potty doorbell which seemed to work for her for 2 weeks but now she doesn't want to ring it.
She has to go to the bathroom constantly about every 45-60 min when she's not in her crate or playpen, which I know is not normal for a dog her age. I have taken her to the vet since I thought it may have been a medical issue but they said that all her tests came back negative. We thought she had the potty training down when she went almost a full month without any problems, but now she is starting to pee and poop again in the house while hiding in the corners and on some occasions eating her solid poop (she was doing this as a puppy but had seemed to grow out of eating it).
I'm honestly out of ideas at this point on how to make this stick for her. I'm still not 100% convinced that it's not a medical issue, but any suggestions you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
