That's no proof dogs are hard-headed or my Tibbe would be peeing everywhere. He's terribly hard-headed, a self-thinker and a sass-backer. Your dog was just unable to hold it until she got let out again or to her potty pad, the potty pad was soiled, you missed letting her out or her pee pads were soiled, didn't go the last time she was let out, drank too much water, bladder gets irritated, medication is relaxing the bladder, got scared or stressed or frustrated(lots of evidence dogs pee from frustration when they don't know what to do right then) or fearful or intimidated or just forgot - got sidetracked really pursuing something and forgot to go where and when she should. Don't you ever forget? Are you being hard-headed when you forget? Dogs do forget just like humans at times. There are many reasons a dog has an accident every so often. They are NOT perfect, even when fully housebroken. They aren't machines and make mistakes. But there is absolutely no evidence that they use pee or poop as a way to get back at us or show defiance. Peeing from stress or insecurity or frustration or submission or fear - that's more likely why she pees.
