Potty training help

Hi! My boston is 15 months old, he was potty trained and doing well from the time we got him at 8 weeks until about a month ago, now he’s having accidents in the house.

In the house it’s me and a roommate who is only here 3-4 nights out of the week. He doesn’t have any accidents for my roommate despite only going out 3-4 times a day but will constantly pee and poop in the house for me, I end up having to take him out every 1-2 hours.

How do I get him to stop having accidents in the house for me as I’m the one who is his primary owner? I know that everytime he has an accident I’m supposed to immediately take him outside which I do but I live in an apartment where going outside is a 5 mins walk in itself by the time we’re out of the elevator so I don’t think in his brain he equates the accident with going outside

Any help appreciated

Longterm dog sitting and allergies

Hello all! I need advice for her skin. She has allergies. Just seeing her itch and slide around on the floor makes me ichty. Poor thing. My plan was to grab some antibacterial dog shampoo. I saw DouxoS3 in my local pet store. Then I was going to put some coconut oil on her affected areas, nose, and paws. Is that a good plan?

We do give her Benadryl at night for some relief and we keep her busy. She is on the wellness food brand. Her vet appointment for additional allergy medication is booked out.

My brother had his first baby and needed to have his dog watched for a few weeks. She is such a sweetie and is wonderful with the kids! We are going to be so sad to give her back to be honest 😂

Changed my mind about small dogs. I'm a fan of big dogs, but this Boston Terrier has stolen my heart 😭🥰

Would you have any additional advice I can pass onto my brother about caring for his Boston Terrier? Like specific care routine for her skin, diet, training, etc.? He was worried about her causing us some trouble, but she has been great over here with us 😂

Flying with a Boston

My husband and I are planning to fly with our 6 month old BT for the holidays but I'm worried about the airline not allowing her to fly due to her size. I think she can fit in a soft sided carrier under th seat but will be too big to stand up. Does anyone have any personal experience with this? Any airlines better than others?

My guy started marking a specific piece of furniture

My dog recently started marking a piece of furniture we got from a friend. They owned cats which is why he’s doing it I’m pretty sure. He’s potty trained and neutered. Him peeing inside has never really been an issue. Everytime he marks, I make sure to thoroughly clean the area, and I spray it down with vinegar to get rid of the smell. I’ve also cleaned the shelf with vinegar. Any advice on how to get him to stop? It’s been driving me nuts.
