All I can add to this is: it's puppy potty, clean it up and get over it.
Our current youngest is 7 months old...I caught her tonight starting to squat on the bedroom carpet, pee starting to come out (she's generally very good about the potty pads). I told her no in a firm voice, took her to the potty pad and talked all baby-talk and reminded her potty pad use gets treats. Then I thoroughly cleaned the quarter size pee from the carpet. Then the two year old promptly came over and squatted on the pee pad with her butt hanging half off of it onto the carpet with 1/2 of her pee going on the carpet. She tried to go where she was suppose to - did she know she was 1/2 off the pad, I doubt it...so she got a treat and praise. Then she gave the 7 month old her smug little doggie look. lol
Seriously, it's just potty. Too many other things going on in the world to get too worked up over the potty mishaps of small dogs.
