I would also suggest Belly Bands.

And start back at the basics. Mine took a good year of potty training, and believe me there was good times and then they reverted, so when that happened I had to 'cut' there 'free run' of the house. They had to be contained (I used expen panels or I opened card board boxes and taped together to block off areas).

Also, I use positive praise and a good treat reward for doing potty where they should. A good little treat is Peanut Butter Chips (from the baking isle). They are so small, but so good! Works like a charm, but this treat is ONLY for good potty, don't use it for anything else....and in the meantime, get some belly bands and maxi pads

P.S. After TJ was neutered he also would pee in all sorts of places. I asked the Vet 'what the hell happened" b/c he didn't ever do that before. The Vet said maybe TJ was a little upset...but I don't know if I buy that or not. I just 'up'd' the Postive Praise for good potty and I got him back on track!
