I recently re-homed a 3 year old yorkie that is pee pad trained. Well, I have a two level home and she's still afraid of going up and down the stairs without being carried. I have a pee pad upstairs in the hall by all of our bedrooms and then there's another one on the first floor. Anytime she's upstairs, she uses her pee pad with no problems whatsoever. When she's downstairs, she goes on my rug which is not far at all from her pee pad. It's in plain view and I've even taken her over to the pee pad and told her softly to go potty. She just lays on top of it and then when I'm in another room or not paying attention, I turn around to find pee on my rug.

I need some suggestions on what to do. I've only had her less than a week but she's successful upstairs but not down? I don't get it.
