My Freud often does this thing where he relieves himself inside the house the second we've got back from a walk. Is this normal?

Hi there,
If your dog was house-trained but has started having accidents again, the first thing to do is check with the vet to make sure there isn’t an underlying health issue.
If everything is fine, then you need to go back to basics with their toilet training.
Don't scold him when you get home; just ignore it. Put him in the garden (or a separate room) and only clean up the "present" when he's out of sight (seeing you on all fours with a cloth could be mistaken for a game, which might encourage your pup to go indoors again).
When he goes outside, give him plenty of praise. If you scold him when you discover he's had an accident indoors, your puppy won't make the connection and won't understand why you're cross.
During walks, try to avoid heading back home immediately after he's done his business. He might see it as a punishment—"as soon as I go, we go back in, so I'll hold it in"—and as a result, you'll find a little surprise waiting for you when you get back home ;) :)
Best regards,
Christophe Leluc
That's so cute!! ^^
She's punishing herself!! Now that's something I’d have loved to see!! Must be quite a sight!! ^^
With my lot, I 'speak dog'!! I use the same language they do!! ^^
At the end of the day, as long as there’s plenty of love and the animal is well looked after, to each their own!! ^^
