Okay, I heard someone on TV suggest something. I don't know if it works, but here's what they said. They said when the dog goes somewhere they shouldn't, you should put their food dish on top of that spot since they won't "go" near the place they eat. Even if it is a different spot every time. Like I said, I don't know if this will work or not, but you sound like you're ready to try anything. I hope this issue is resolved for you soon. I know it's very frustrating.
