I need some insight. Maddy is trained on pee pee pads. She does really well on them when we are at home. She knows that is where she is supposed to do her business. We keep them on the bathroom floor and she will even stand at the door and wait to go if the door is closed. We were so proud

Well, when we leave is a different story. Her "room" when we are at work is my master bathroom. We keep her bed, crate, and toys in there, as well as the pee pads, like always. She will not use the pee pads when she is in the bathroom. She will mess on the floor and then proceed to jump around in it and then smear poop all over the door, walls etc. She doesn't care if it is pee or poop and if she ends up covered in it.

This is causing my hubby and I to come home to a destroyed bathroom everyday, not to mention a dirty pup. I thought after a little while she would get used to her room and cut it out. But no luck. The bathroom clean up and giving Maddy a bath every day is getting tiring. How can I change this?

Suggestions?
