I'm having an issue with my 3 year old little guy. He has been decently trained on wee wee pads however I have just moved to a new apartment and put down an area rug in the bedroom. It's a dark brown so I can't see it but as I was cleaning I smelled and it seems like he has been urinating all over the rug. I have caught him going number 2 a bunch of times as well. He is neutered so I'm not sure if he is marking his territory, doesn't like the "new smell" of the rug, or just doesn't understand that a rug is different then a wee wee pad. He's always been able to roam around my apartment freely while I'm at work but I'm now considering gating him off in the hallway to control the situation. I'm also considering attempting to train him to go more outside. Any suggestions????
