I have recently had this same issue. Baxter has been good for weeks, and we have not had to put him in his kennel. Yesterday he peed in front of my washer. Today he peed in front of the washer and pooped in front of his kennel! UGH! So, I guess we have to have a few days in the kennel while we are at work to refresh his memory. Little poop head. He's lucky he's cute.
