So, we have had the most adorable little 3month old puppy for about a month now.

After three weeks she had become close to pottytraining (no accidents throughout the night, scratching to go out, maybe an accident per day), had learned manners (not jumping up, not begging) and basic commands (sit,stay,come).

I went away for 6 days, of those she was in the care of the neighbors (from 7am to 1pm) for 4. They let her out every two hours (and since they have dogs of their own, surely reinforced her training) but since then she has been having 1-2 accidents per day.

She has regained her commands and (mostly) her manners, but the pottytraining is still…not there. I let her out, I praise her when she goes, but the second I let her out of my sight there is an accident on the floor.

Question 1——- Did my absence cause this (her complete disregard to prior rules)?
Question 2——- By the time school starts should she be under control?
Question 3—– If I were to be gone the whole day Friday (she’ll be under the care of my uncle who lives here from 1pm onward, but potentially alone from 8am till then) will this be a major setback? Should I? It’s for babysitting and I’d earn fairly good money…and…IDK…would this be a setback? Will it just make her slower to learn?
Aren’t you never supposed to shove their face in it? And what about my last question? Should I?
