Jess is pee pad trained and does great. In the last few weeks Ive left her in the family room with her crate door opened so she can have room to roam and the tv on. Shes done fine and pees poos in the potty side. Today Im gone just under two hours and I open the door, smell poop but don't see any. Until I step in it right at the door entrance..needless to say she knows I am very upset with her, pointed out the problem and had her watch me clean it. I have now ignored her for awhile (mostly to calm myself) The big problem is she walks in it and spreads it around the room which is half hardwood and half carpet that's dark so I cant tell. Im grossed out.

I have kids that sit on the carpet.
do I put her back in her large crate when Im gone (its 5 feet long) I hate to do it but I cant have her doing that. I know she knows better. help!
