My 3 month old rattie, Maddy, has been very good at potty training.  She used to always go to the door when she had to go out.  Now that the kids are home, they put her out and when they let her back in, she goes on the floor, both pee and poop.  Any suggestions???

First thought, you're going to have to train the kids! I'm assuming you were responsible for the majority of her potty training initially? And that you probably went out with her when she went so you could make sure she pottied? Now this is what your kids are going to have to do for awhile at least. It may be that she doesn't associate the kids letting her out with going to potty. She's still very young and will need reinforcement and praise for awhile yet before she gets it completely.

The change in routine probably is confusing her...the kids being home all the time now. Like Tracy said, you're just going to have to teach the kids how to take the pup out and make sure she goes before allowing her back in. Just give her tons of praise for the next few days...she should be adjusting to having the kids around more soon.
