Puppy problems!?
I have an 11 month old husky mix who is generally pretty well behaved. I started a new job 4 months ago which has lead to him having to stay in my bedroom so that he doesn't get into things from 8 am to 2 pm 3-4 days a week. The vet said that since he is potty trained (we crate trained to help with bladder control) that he should have no problems with accidents but to make sure that his schedule isn't greatly impacted and that he is still getting attention and exercise. Which he is, his schedule has barely changed at all. Up until this past week he's been doing great! We go out in the morning for a walk after he's fed, then he's in a room where everything is off the floor except several different types of toys and his bed. I don't leave food out for him at all. And then when I get back he's happy to see me and we walk again and play and he gets fed dinner. Same schedule as it has been for months. But in the past 4 days he has: jumped up onto a desk (breaking a vase and destroying papers), he's gone to the bathroom in the room two consecutive days (both times he's put his bed or a toy over his accident I guess to hide it maybe?) and he's destroyed a headset that he pulled off the desk. I think what I'm most concerned about is why he's having accidents all of a sudden in my room. I understand the curiosity (while it isn't acceptable) and the destruction and I assume it's out of boredom but why now? After being good for 3 months it's odd.
