Couldnt agree more! Dogs dont just "un potty train" there is a reason for it. Most likely medical. Take to vet to rule out infection. And DONT punish. Instead scoop him up walk him to where he IS to go, set him down nicely and tell him THIS is where you are to go potty with no anger or aggrivation in your voice. When he does go where he is to give him a Thata boy pat or even a small treat. Negative punishment= negative reaction with dogs and children.
