Hi all, well I am back for some more advice from the experts here. My dog is just about 17 months old and WAS totally pee pad trained. She would also pee outside when we walked.

She is now peeing on my rugs. I have carpeting throughout my house. She pees, of course, in certain spots. I will come home from work and there will be wet spots on my carpet. She has pee pads in 2 places and she knows that is where she is supposed to go. I allow her the living room and kitchen when I am at work. She has had this arrangement since she was about 10 months old and it has been fine until now. When I am home, she basically follows me around. Today, she actually peed on the carpet right in front of me. I blocked her off in the kitchen and finished getting ready. I let her out of the kitchen and she immediately went to the OTHER place where she pees and peed there in front of me again!

I am at my wits end here. I would also like to point out that I had the caprets cleaned and it seems like that is about the time this started and has just gotten worse and worse. It started out that she would do an "excited" pee when I came home from work and progressed to what it has become now. She also peed on my throw rugs in the bathroom. I didn't even KNOW it until I picked them up and saw stains on the back.

I also have changed pee pad brands a bunch of times to try and find ones that don't "track" pee. I have found a brand that I am going to stick to now. Could this changing brands be part of the problem??

Anyway, what do I do? Do I lock her back up in the kitchen when I go to work? I hate to do this to her because she was miserable in there when I was first training her and is so much happier when she can sit on the couch and look out the windows. And what do I do when I AM home. I am always throwing her ball around for her to chase so she can get exercise since it is cold and we can't walk as much. If I have to confine her all the time, she won't get any exercise.

I thought about just putting pee pads where she is peeing on the rugs, but I don't know if that is a good idea either.

And I do clean up the pee right away with Nature's Miracle but it obviously isn't working because she goes right back to the same spot.

Please help!!!
