@DebraDownSouth we've tried doggie ramps she is just too stubborn. Physically she is in great shape the vet said he would mistake her for a 7yr old. So it's just the behaviors and now what we believe is confusion.

@Nancy-Berry we are fefinately going to try the P pads her urinalysis came back fine just a slight rise in kidney issues but nothing clinical. And very good for her age. we also read the article that someone else posted and so many of those behavior sound like her. Especially with the confusion , pacing most of the night. and all the other behaviors I had never even connected to her pee/poo issues. We are definitely going to try a change in food get some anti-oxidants in her as well as getting some omega-3's to try to help with brain and cognitive function we definitely would never put her down for just peeing on our furniture. I believe now the personality changes may be confusion. She is clumsy falls off her "purch" which we have corrected so she can't hurt herself. Tries to enter the house through the side of the door that the hinges are on and can't figurj e out how to go around it. Jumps up on the couch and misses (miscalculates distance). Jumps up in your lap then be surprised your there. THANK YOU ALLLLLL! for all the great advise. Hannah is such an amazing member of our family. We just have to work through the frustration. Having a plan helps that.

My 16-year-old Basenji is suddenly having a change in personality. She has gone from a very normal Basenji behavior to being needy. she has always had accidents in the house but over the last six months her accidents have become and what feels like punishment. Squatting on the couch in front of us. Pooping inside after a walk. we have had health checks screenings (all normal) we've had and we have increased her activity level with no effect. we have tried anxiety medications incontent meds... nothing is helping. We take her for a very long walk and she will not toilet herself outside but then come in the house and Pee on the couch. any help any suggestion please I don't want to have to put my 16-year-old dog down because she peas in my house.
