Pup peeing on our floors

Never hurts to get her checked if it gone on for 10 or more days… but this could be behavior. Does she have a regular designated time she gets her walk? Scheduling something positive for her daily that she can depend on may help. SHE IS SO CUTE! 🥰
@Nicole we don’t have a set schedule but she is played with every day. My partner works hard labour and I’m home with the kids so there’s not a set routine plus with the heat x
She could be jealous. You were giving her all the love and attention. She came into a situation where it was you, your husband?, and daughter. Now there’s a baby who needs you 24/7. That puppy was the “baby” first. My dog did the same except he was pooping instead of peeing and he’s a 90lb black lab. Image picking up dog poop when this dog poops like he’s a horse. She just needs some time, reassurance, and maybe a kennel? Kennel training is super important in my opinion. It give them a place that is theirs and they can decompress privately if they want. My sister has a male frenchie he pees everywhere too tho so maybe it’s a bit of a Frenchie thing??
@Jordan she’s much better now. I think we discovered it was jealousy as she tends to sit and stare at us when I’m holding baby. When I see this now I say her name and give her pats. We’ve been letting her back on the bed for cuddles. More walks. More attention and she is on her best behaviour again x
@Sera Kay ✨ Thats awesome! I learned my dog was jealous when he growled at me while I was changing a diaper when my daughter was about 2 weeks old. He’s sweet as can be but the BIGGEST attention whore 😂 To be fair it’s hard at first when the baby is so new and needs you constantly you sorta forget about them for a bit
@Jordan so true! I’ve also been letting her hang out with the baby more too as I know she really wants to interact with him but she’s anxious about getting in trouble but she’s so gentle with him it’s adorable
@Sera Kay ✨ Aw she’s a nervous baby! She needs reassurance. Maybe when she’s around the baby being calm and gentle give her a treat. You can get some training treats or even chop up a piece of chicken really small and give it to her every few minutes at first and as she gets more and more comfortable with the baby you won’t need to give her anything too often. My dog steered clear of the baby at first now that she’s 14 months he sometimes follows her around or she follows him. When he’s laying down he lets her climb all over him and do whatever it’s the sweetest
@Jordan she’s amazing around the baby never seen her so calm and gentle! She just doesn’t wanna get told off by dad because she hasn’t been allowed to touch him previously (he’s 3 months now and monster size lol) so I’m allowing her to be with us more so she can see that she won’t get in trouble and that it’s perfectly fine to be with baby. I’ve been encouraging her to check on the baby when he’s in his rocker and I sneakily watch from around the corner and she will go and sniff his feet and sit there looking at him 🤣 she’s very smart with the command “where’s the ….?” She will go and find her toy, her sissy (my eldest), dad, ball, etc. so now I’m introducing “where’s Franky?” And she has started going to check on him!
I also have a girl Frenchie. Yours is still a puppy so I say give it some time and try positive reinforcement. They tend be pretty easy dogs to train overall. I would try giving her treats when she’s used the potty pads or starts going outside.
