Housebreaking regression after neuter

My hubby let him out and he peed! I am not 100% confident in him YET, but it looks like we are back in business!

That's fantastic, but remember he had an accident yesterday. You need to continue to supervise him VERY carefully for quite a while more, building those "correct" experiences for a good period of time to make up for so many accidents over the last week or so.

He does great for long stretches. His accidents are usually poop, and usually my lapse in watching him close enough. We gate him where we can see him, and he is not allowed upstairs. (his favorite place to poop). I am going now to pick him up at the vet. Glad I read this, will take EXTRA care to watch him close!!!!

Kodi didn't relapse as a result of neutering, but they all seem to at one point or another. The key is to catch it early and get right on top of it so it doesn't become a habit. I'd watch Blaze, but I wouldn't be EXPECTING a problem.

I thought he was your little conformation dog, though, no?

LOL, either Isabella is extraordinarily healthy or she's managed to do it in private and clean up afterward (sorry for the visual). Two days ago was the first time I ever saw her do it and I was so freaked, I didn't know what was happening to her . . .but she jumped up in my lap and that's where it happened.
