Chloe is trained to go out on the terrace and use the pee pad. The pee pad is near the door and close to the bench of my baby grand. Many times he barks and I get up out of bed to let him out the door, but then I notice he's peed on the pad. He just wants me to get up out of bed,. Yesterday and a few days before, he barked, to get me out of bed and I ignored him. Well both those times when I got up in the am, I saw his present on the bench, which is metal so I don't have to worry about wood. He's in his room alone lights out and punished, which he knows.... He even gives me back talk when I tell him to go to his room... Question is how do I prevent this. I used vinegar , I used cayenne pepper on a paper towel, of course I clean the bench, but this is silly and I want him to stop. I know he's being spiteful. Thanks for your help.
