Mayaâs Mommy Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Hi everyone đđ» i am so glad that I found this site. I have a dilemma that I canât figure out. Maya is a year old and all of a sudden she wonât go out to potty. I also have a border collie/german shepherd. Â This just started yesterday and before she would run to the door to go out with Maggie (other dog), now she refuses to go out. I do have to tie her as our yard is not fenced and she never minded before. She hasnât been left out in the rain or anything like that. I finally had to just push her out. Once sheâs out sheâs okay. Help!!! Any suggestions?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayaâs Mommy Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Thatâs very possible. I just hate to shove her out while she is fighting not to go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMANI & ALINAH Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 You could put both dogs on leashes and walk outside with them for awhile. Taking walks with them would be great to help release their pent up energy!! Maybe they got tangled up when they were tied up. Being tied up isn't the best thing because they can easily escape, get lost, get hit by a car, plus they cannot get any exercise. Just some ideas. I think if you go outside with them, the one dog will get over any fears it may have.Good luck!![emoji847][emoji252][emoji252][emoji252] WELCOME ABOARD [emoji252][emoji252][emoji252]Sent from my [device_name] using http://Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseafan Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 It could be that sheâs associating going outside with being tied up, sometimes these behaviours come out of the blue and itâs an elimination process to try to solve the problem. Does she play outside? Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Do you watch them when they're tied up? Could something have spooked her Sent from my [device_name] using http://Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robke Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 sound like she has been scared outside.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayaâs Mommy Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Thank you all so much. As far as being tied only she is as Maggie knows her boundaries. The couples of times she got lose she went running and I liked to never got her home. They play outside and she has a 80 ft lead. We live in a rural area and have 150 acres itâs hard for me to walk them right now as I have my 95 year old mother that lives with us. She has dementia end stage and canât be left alone đą. As far as I can tell nothing spooked her as I can watch them from my family room. She was fine when she came in and then decided later that nope I ainât going out anymore. I will give her credit as she hasnât done anything in the house. She seems a bit better today as she actually went to the door and she went out willingly but other than that she still fights it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayaâs Mommy Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Okay now I have another problem with her.  She is crate trained and all of a sudden she is now barking, whining to be let out after she eats her treat and we are settled down to sleep. She has her own crate and Maggie has hers and they both sleep in our room. I tried putting a blanket over her crate but she wanted nothing to do with it at first. I had to raise one side so she could see me but not Maggie. She finally settled down after a while. Maggie gets a kong with peanut butter and I tried that with Maya and she eats the kong itself. She doesnât seem real thrilled about it. So I usually give her two large milk bones and she seems satisfied with those. Just canât figure out why all of a sudden she acts like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael_Astro Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Maybe she's getting seperation anxiety if she knows she's going outside and being tied up! Would explain the crate issue too Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayaâs Mommy Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I wouldnât think so as she never goes outside by herself as Maggie is with her and her crate is in our bedroom and she can see us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
