Hey, I got my "Patch" (a 5 month-old Yorkie-Schnauzer mix) a month ago from a breeder who said Patch's mom (a very intelligent Schnauzer) had trained Patch and his sisters to go potty in a potty box. The weirdest thing...Patch consistently pees and Poos in his box overnight correctly; however, during the day he pees outside of the box (on a vinyl tablecloth) we have in his X-pen. He only has a problem with the peeing as he poops inside the box EVERY time! Has anyone heard of/experienced this?! If so I would be so indebted to you to find out why this is and how I can correct it!

FYI - We use the Contour Medium Size Potty Box from Petco with the Hartz Potty Pads.

PS - After every pee outside of the box, I cleanup with the Nature's Miracle to eliminate the smell of urine on the tablecloth...in hopes he won't pee there again...but low and behold he does!

PLEASE HELP! THANKS A BUNCH!
